Notice of proposed decision first published: 05/09/2014
This decision will be taken under urgency procedures.
Reason for urgency:
One of the terms of the Better Care Fund for 2015/16, is the requirement that Health and Well-Being Boards (HWBB) approve for submission to the Department of Health the updated template document which sets out the Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) and Council’s joint plans for the application of those monies. The HWBB approved the Local Authority and CCGs BCF Planning Template on the 24th March 2014. However, following on from this the Department of Health and Local Government Association has asked all Local Authorities and CCGs to resubmit their Better Care Fund Planning Templates for 2015/16 with more narrative and detail on the proposed expenditure of the fund.
