Public Health Transition - Transfer of Assets and Liabilities

05/04/2013 - Public Health Transition - Transfer of Assets and Liabilities

Members considered a report on the transfer of assets and liabilities to be transferred from the Primary Care Trust as a result of the Health and Social Care Act 2012.

 

Under the Health and Social Care Act 2012, the transfer of public health assets and liabilities to local authorities was mandatory. The most significant elements were the staff and the service contracts. A Staff Transfer Scheme had been put into effect by the Secretary of State. Existing contracts had been rolled forward for twelve months to ensure Service continuity. Re-commissioning would commence during 2013-2014.

 

RESOLVED

 

That

 

(1)  Cabinet notes and acknowledges receipt of the assets and liabilities transferred to the Local Authority from the Primary Care Trust as a result of the Health and Social Care Act 2012; and

 

(2)  Cabinet notes and acknowledges the rolling over and/or extension of inherited contracts for a one year period pending their re-commissioning in the new financial year.
