To consider the report of the Cabinet Member for Adult Social Care and Health seeking approval to grant delegated powers to officers and members to take certain decisions that will contribute to delivering better outcomes for local people within the framework of the recent NHS White Paper.
The Council agreed a joint framework with the Primary CareTrust which sets out the context for closer and integrated working between the organisations. In July 2010, the new coalition Government published the NHS White Paper – Equity and Excellence: Liberating the NHS which identified proposals for far reaching changes to the NHS and the wider health and social care economy and the purpose of this recommendation is to seek approval to delegate authority to officers and relevant Members to take certain decisions that will enable the delivery of better outcomes for local people within the framework of the NHS white Paper.
