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
- That the
principles which underpin this development be agreed.
- 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.
- 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.
- That the links to
associated proposals under consideration relating to future
operating models for Care4CE be acknowledged.
