To consider the creation of a Public Health Transformation Fund.
Minutes:
Consideration was given to a report relating to the Public Health Transformation Fund, which had been specifically created to improve the health and wellbeing of residents in Cheshire East. This dedicated, flexible and time-limited financial resource would enable residents to access and benefit from innovative approaches to health not previously available in Cheshire East, through statutory, voluntary, community, faith and private sector transformation initiatives.
The appendices originally submitted with the agenda report were in draft format, while the grant agreement was finalised. The appendices had subsequently been amended to reflect the intentions of the grant and to ensure consistency between the grant agreement, the Terms of Reference for the Fund and its associated documentation. Updated appendices had been circulated and published as a supplement to the agenda on the Councils’ website.
Cabinet was requested to agree the creation of the Public Health Transformation Fund and to delegate the decision to make the awards to the Public Health Transformation Fund Panel Chaired by the Portfolio Holder.
RESOLVED
1. That the creation of the Public Health Transformation Fund be approved.
2. That the decision to make the awards be delegated to the Public Health Transformation Fund Panel, chaired by the Portfolio Holder and that the Panel report back to Cabinet on performance.
