Minutes:
Andy Bamber, Service Head, Community Service, introduced the commissioning intentions update report. He referred Members back to the previous Cabinet decision but stated a different approach was required for two services.
In response to questions, officers replied that the majority of savings required from the public health grant could be made without impacting on service users and in fact that service users should see an improved service through the new procurement. It was also noted that the Tower Hamlets Health and Wellbeing Board had considered this issue.
The Deputy Mayor agreed the recommendations as set out in the report.
