The Director of Adult Services to present the latest version of the proposed Strategic Agreement between Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust and Torbay Council/South Devon and Torbay CCG.

Representatives from the Foundation Trust and CCG have been invited to attend the meeting.

The Board to review the proposed Strategic Agreement and make any recommendations to the Mayor.

(The Executive Lead for Children’s and Adult Services has been invited to attend the meeting but has sent his apologies.)

The Director of Adult Services provided the Board with an updated version of the Annual Agreement between Torbay Council, South Devon and Torbay Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and the Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust which had been prepared since February 2016 to allow for the NHS planning cycle.  The Agreement described how the Council would be making a greater financial contribution than had been expected in February 2016 and the accompanying report provided information of how that would be funded.

The Director explained that the allocation of £1.3 million Better Care Fund between the Council and the CCG had been disputed but that, following mediation, an agreement had been reached as set out in the Agreement.

Resolved:  that, whilst the Board has no specific recommendations, it is felt that the recurrent basis of the agreement reached between the Council and the CCG with the Council contributing £926,000 throughout the lifetime of the Risk Share Agreement should be made explicit in the covering report to the Council.
