That the
Leaders of North and West Northamptonshire Councils agree
that the following is approved:-

a)   
the disaggregation of Public Health Intelligence and
Sustainability and Transformation Plan (STP) by November 2023;
and
b)   
delegated authority to the Monitoring Officers for
North and West Northamptonshire Councils to put into place a deed
of variation to the Inter Authority Agreement (IAA) for the service
to exit the IAA schedule 2C5.
 
Reasons for
Decision:

a)   
Since the agreement of the LGR Blueprint the launch
of Northamptonshire’s ICS was delayed until 1st July 2022 and
the development of the Decision Support Unit (DSU) has not
progressed sufficiently to operationally integrate the Public
Health Intelligence function, leaving the original justification of
the Blueprint treatment no longer fit for purpose.

b)   
The proposed option to disaggregate Public Health
Intelligence function is recommended as it
aligns with both NNC and WNC Public Health future plans for service
delivery, given the unique emerging priorities for each
council.
