To consider a report of the Director of Public Health, Adults’ Health and Care regarding a strategic partnership between Hampshire County Council and Isle of Wight Council

Cabinet considered a report of the Director of Public Health, regarding a strategic partnership between Hampshire County Council and Isle of Wight Council.

It was confirmed that the proposed formal partnership built on interim joint working and an assessment of requirements, which had led to the opportunity for longer term partnership.

The proposals were welcomed and Cabinet recognised that this work wouldn’t be to the detriment of Hampshire’s own service provision and would operate on the basis of full cost recovery, with political control being retained by the Isle of Wight Council.

The recommendations in the report were agreed. A decision record is attached to these minutes.
