PDF 117 KBDecision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Decision:
(i) To note the end of year BCF report which is a reduced requirement when compared with previous years.
(ii) To note that the proposals for iBCF 2021/2022 which align with the BCF Section 75 pooled fund arrangements and BCF priorities for 2021/2022 will be presented at a future meeting.
(iii) To approve the proposed BCF priorities for 2021/2022 reflecting the local position and expected national requirements.
Reasons for the decision:
The BCF is a jointly led programme of work and as such requires approval from the Joint Commissioning Board on behalf of the city’s Health and Well Being Board (HWBB). The planning guidance for 2020/2021, published in Q3, whilst requiring reduced reporting continued to require locally agreed plans (paragraph 6.) Whilst the Planning Requirements, set out by the Department of Health and Social Care for the governance of the Better Care Fund in local systems have yet to be published for 2021/2022, it is expected that the requirement for joint planning will remain.
Alternative options considered:
This is a planning requirement and as such no alternative options have been considered.
Other Relevant Matters Concerning the Decision:
