Minutes:
Cabinet was asked to agree an extension to the s75 NHS Act 2006 agreement between Oxfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group (OCCG) and the Council to pool health and social care commissioning budgets, as the latest agreement was to expire on 31 March 2022.
Councillor Jenny Hannaby, Cabinet Member for Adult Social Care, introduced the report and thanked its author, Ian Bottomley, for an excellent report. There has been an agreement in place to pool health and social care budgets since 2013. In 2020/21 the partners developed the Health, Education and Social Care Integrated Commissioning Team.
A joint commissioning executive was put in place in March 2021 to provide strategic direction and accountability and includes senior executives from OCC and OCCG. The partnership had worked well and Councillor Hannaby had every confidence that it would continue to do so. She noted that none of the pooled budgets may be spent without all of the partners’ agreement. She put the recommendations to Cabinet.
RESOLVED to:
b) Approve a single, fully integrated Pool Budget and Risk Share for Live Well and Age Well services
