Decision Maker: Adult Social Care and Public Health Committee

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

On 19.09.23, a proposal was brought to Adult Social Care and Public Health Committee to extend the contract with Cheshire and Wirral NHS Foundation Trust (CWP) until 30 September 2025, on substantially the same terms which would enable a full analysis of the benefits and detriments of returning the service to the Council’s delivery arm. An additional Recommendation was tabled and approved, namely, that the decision on the period of extension would be deferred until a further report is presented in October
2023, providing committee with additional information to inform the decision-making process.

Decision:

Resolved: That

1.  the contract with CWP be extended for a further year until 30 September 2025, on substantially the same terms to enable further analysis, in partnership with CWP and other systems partners, of the benefits and detriments of a continuation of current service arrangements or of returning the services to the Council’s direct delivery.

2.  the Director of Care and Health be requested to provide a further report to the Adult Social Care and Public Health Committee by September 2024 to update on the outcome of this exercise and to make recommendations as to the future delivery of the services.
