Consultation process

Consultees

Reason for inclusion in Forward Plan: To consider a shared Director of Public Health (DPH) with Devon County Council. The Council has had an interim DPH for a year whilst options have been explored. This paper will set out new ways of working which should see benefits across Torbay as well as expand the level of resources and knowledge available to Torbay.

Key Risks: If not agreed, a recruitment process for our own DPH is likely to be required and current DPH is only acting up till March 2015. Any shared agreement may not prove to be satisfactory and may need to be reversed.
