To extend the existing section 76 Agreement
between NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board (formerly NHS
Doncaster CCG) and City of Doncaster Council to enable the
continuation of the joint-funding mechanism for a contract between
NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board and Sharpsmart - which
provides for the collection of medical sharps from domestic
properties.
Under this decision, City of Doncaster Council will continue to
contribute 50% of the cost of the contract for a further 12 months
(commencing April 1st, 2024).
To renew the section 76 agreement for this purpose.

Alternative options considered

Officers do not consider it feasible for the
Council to provide a service directly to Doncaster residents at
this time due to excessive cost implications and the potential for
breaches of waste classification requirements – we are not in
a position to carry out our own procurement at this time, however,
that is a possibility that could be explored in the future should
the Council allocate the resources and technical expertise
