· Authorise the Council financial contribution as set out in the agreement and the associated risk share
The new agreement will commence on 1 April 2023. It has been agreed by the Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire West Integrated Care Board at its meeting on 21 March 2023. The new agreement replaces that dating from 1 April 2013 with the former Oxfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group
The s75 agreement gives authority to the Council and the ICB to pool financial and other resources to deliver better outcomes for the people of Oxfordshire. The new agreement extends our approach to integrated commissioning led by the Council on behalf of the partners and will support the further development and implementation of partnership working in Oxfordshire. The agreement incorporates the Better Care Fund for Oxfordshire.
