DECISION
1. To agree for the proposal to go out consultation from the 11th May 2016 until 8th June 2016.
Action by:
DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC HEALTH (S. BANERJEE)
DIRECTOR OF ADULT SERVICES (D. RADLEY)
Minutes:
Councillor Amy Whitelock Gibbs, Cabinet Member for Health and Adult Services, introduced the report on public health grant savings proposals. She explained that the announcement of the public health grant cuts had been made out of synch with the normal budget processes and so decisions were now required on the necessary savings. Analysis showed that London councils were being hit particularly hard.
A number of key considerations included the need to protect mandatory services and the desire to preserve as much early years provision as possible. However, the cuts were going to be difficult and so a full consultation was important to help determine final proposals.
A typographical error was noted on page 428 of the agenda pack that the 2017/18 budget reduction for Fit 4 Life Groups should read 31% not 631%.
The Mayor agreed the recommendation as set out in the report.
RESOLVED
1. To agree for the proposal to go out consultation from the 11th May 2016 until 8th June 2016.
