Decision Maker: HMR Integrated Care Partnership Committee

Outcome: Recommendations Approved

Is Key Decision?: Yes

Is Callable In?: Yes

Date of Decision: October 29, 2024

Purpose: As part of the revised Better Care Fund Grant (BCF) Conditions, all quarterly reporting must now be cited at Locality Board.

Content: Consideration was given to a report of the Assistant Director of Commissioning Adult Social Care and Prevention which sought approval of the Better Care Fund 2024-25 Quarter 1 return.   Resolved: That the Better Care Fund 2024-25 Quarter 1 return for the Borough of Rochdale be approved for signed-off.   Reason for decision The Better Care Fund Grant conditions required all quarterly returns to be submitted to the HMR Locality Board. This ensured Board Members were aware of spend and performance updates, along with any challenges.   Alternatives considered Not to report to the HMR Locality Board – this option was not recommended as signing off of the quarterly return was a condition of grant funding.
