Decision details

The committee considered a report which sought approval for the Council to accept the Single Drug and Alcohol Treatment and Recovery Improvement Grant which would support the Council in achieving its aim of being an organisation which ‘empowers and cares about people’ thus ‘reducing health inequalities across the Borough’, from Dr Matt Atkinson, Public Health Consultant, and Nik Darwin, Senior Commissioning Manager.

The committee were updated that the money was expected and had already been accounted for in the service budget. The service was funded by ringfenced public health and DATRIG grant which had been factored into the MTFS, however the amount was only recently confirmed, and would not have any wider implications on the budget.

RESOLVED: (unanimously)

That the Adults and Health Committee:

1.    Approve the Council receiving the Single Drug and Alcohol Treatment and Recovery Improvement Grant as a supplementary estimate of £524,528.

2.    Delegate authority to the Executive Director of Adults, Health and Integration to oversee the execution of any relevant paperwork in connection with this grant
