Minutes:

The Lead Commissioner, Community Care Market, introduced the report of the Director of Care and Health which notified Members of the commissioning activity for Quarter 1 of financial year 2022/2023 and recommended contract extensions where necessary. The report covered the Wirral Independence Service Medequip and also the Delegated Social Work contracts with Cheshire and Wirral Partnership Foundation Trust and the Wirral Community Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust.

 

Members queried details of the report which confirmed:

·  Renewal of contracts will enable the Council to renew partnerships with stakeholders and enable the Council to consider future options for a future report.

·  Contract values were based upon the existing price.
