Agenda, decisions and minutes

Following a query from the Cabinet Member it was confirmed that involvement with the Bromsgrove Day Centre in her role as a local councillor did not constitute an interest.

Any county councillor may, by giving notice to the Proper Officer by 9 am two working days before the meeting, ask a question on any matter in respect of the Cabinet Member’s delegated powers.

The number of questions which may be asked by any councillor at any one meeting is limited to two (or one question with notice and a supplementary question at the meeting) and the time for questions will be limited to 30 minutes in total. As with questions at Council, any questions which remain unanswered at the end of this item will receive a written response.

Questions submitted prior to the agenda being despatched are shown below and will be the subject of a response from the appropriate Cabinet Member or such other councillor or officer as is determined by the Cabinet Member, and shall not be the subject of further debate at this meeting. Questions received after the despatch of the agenda, but before the deadline, will be shown on the Schedule of Addenda circulated at the meeting, together with any written response which is available at that time.

The Cabinet Member noted that Councillor Hibbert Biles had intended to speak but was not in attendance. However Councillor Heathcoat advised that Councillor Hibbert Biles would be meeting with officers to discuss her concerns.

Report by the Deputy Director Joint Commissioning (CMDASC4)

The Daytime Support Transition Fund was open to applications from all community and voluntary organisations providing currently contracted daytime support services.  The aim of the funding is to enable these services to move to more self-sustaining models as their contracts end at the end of August 2017. 

As per the agreed cross-party panel decision making process, the cross-party panel reviewed the applications and assessed them against the grant criteria as set out in the guidance.  This process was supported by officer recommendations.

This paper sets out the cross-party panel's final recommendations for allocation of the Transition Fund in 2017, for delegated decision by the Cabinet Member for Adult Social Care.

(a)            Endorse the process followed and the criteria set out in the report for the determination of grants

(b)            Approve for funding the bids listed under 26 (a) above
