Decision details

Consideration was given to the principles underpinning the development of Health and Wellbeing Services as an arms length provider organisation.  The report included options for the delivery of the proposed service, the financial implications and links to a number of associated proposals relating to future operating models for Care4CE.  The proposal would contribute to the reduction in health and social inequalities in Cheshire East whilst continuing to offer facilities to support health improvements to the whole population of the Council area.

RESOLVED

1. That the principles which underpin this development be agreed.

2. That approval be given to implement the options appraisal to explore the appropriate vehicle for delivery of the service proposed in this report including the exploration of opportunities to become an externalised provider alongside/with Care4CE.

3. That agreement be given to the levels of investment required and that the potential financial and non-financial benefits be acknowledged, including the capital implications, in relation to working towards the lifestyle centre investment, through an options appraisal and feasibility study in 2011-2012.

1. That the links to associated proposals under consideration relating to future operating models for Care4CE be acknowledged.
