Issue - meetings

To consider the report of the Director of Corporate Resources and Director of Public Health prior to the decision of the Executive Member for Public Health.

The Director of Adults’ Health and Care, the Director of Public Health and a representative of the Director of Corporate Resources attended before the Committee in order to present the revenue budget for Public Health for 2019/20 (see report and presentation, Item 8 in the Minute Book).

The presentation considered by the Committee covered Items 8 to 10 on the

agenda.

It was noted that the Public Health grant was currently ring fenced, so was not included in the transformation savings required by the Adults Health and Care Department. However, savings were still required from this budget as grant funding had reduced. Funds from public health reserves were planned to be used to make up the budget in 2019/20, to allow time to deliver savings smoothly.

RESOLVED:

That the Health and Adult Social Care Select Committee support the recommendations being proposed to the Executive Member for Public Health in section 1 of the report.
