Key Decision CE11/12-26 Knutsford Health and Social Care Development

Decision Maker: Cabinet

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Decisions:

During discussion of this item Councillor J Macrae declared a personal interest. 

 

Consideration was given to a report seeking agreement to endorse the drafting of a non binding Memorandum of Understanding with the East Cheshire Trust, and with the Central and Eastern Cheshire Primary Care Trust, to facilitate the continued development of the project exploring the integration of health and social care services in Knutsford; the preferred site being that of the existing Community Hospital, excluding the neighbouring Stanley Centre site.

 

It was noted that there were a number of overlapping decisions concerning the future of health and social services in Knutsford.  Any new facility would need to consider the re-provision of the temporarily closed bed based services of Tatton Ward and Bexton Court, the future needs of the services provided at Stanley House, and the co location of the three GP primary care services in a single site with the intention to increase the number of integrated and co-located services available in Knutsford.

 

 

RESOLVED

 

That a Memorandum of Understanding be entered into by the Chief Executive to enable initial options appraisal work for this project to be undertaken, and to report back to Cabinet at any key points of decision making.
