Report of the Director of Quality and Integration providing information in relation to the progress made in this work stream, attached

The Board received and noted the report detailing the outcome of the Cabinet meeting on 17^th January 2017 where the development of an Integrated Prevention and Early Help offer for Children 0-19 and their families to improve education and health and wellbeing outcomes was considered.

The Board noted that Cabinet approved the preferred option (option 4) which was a fully integrated offer achieved through provider integration underpinned by an arrangement between the Council and Solent NHS Trust either through a Section 75 (NHS Act 2006) Agreement or any other appropriate basis for such a partnership arrangement.  It was also noted that there would be no changes to staff contracts and individuals would remain accountable to host employers.

The Board noted in conclusion that over the next 3 months detailed design of the model would take place, a group to oversee the development of a s75 Agreement would be put in place which either Cllr Shields or Cllr Paffey would chair as Lead Members for the areas of responsibility and the s75 Agreement would be put in place and run in a shadow form for 2017/18 until existing contracts ceased.
