year (extension) agreement with Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust resulting in the
continuance of their role as the lead provider of Adult Mental

National Minimum Wage (which preserves the current value for money
arrangement) be agreed.

negotiations be delegated to the Chief Officer (Director of Adults
