To consider the findings and recommendations
of the Mental Health Fundamental Review.
208/2007 The Cabinet noted that the staff
currently employed by Medway Council and seconded to the Kent and
Medway Partnership Trust within Community Resource Services will be
transferred under the TUPE regulations to the Kent and Medway
Partnership Trust with effect from 1 April 2008.
209/2007 The Cabinet noted the contents of this report and the
outcome of the review so far.
The two year period of secondment was
originally put in place to support the new integrated working
arrangements between Medway Primary Care Trust, Medway Council and
The Mental Health Trust (later Kent and Medway Partnership Trust).
Integrated working is now national best practice and in Medway this
way of working has been in place for over five years and is well
established. The current seconded model of staffing does not
support this and a transfer of staff under TUPE from Medway Council
to the Kent and Medway Partnership Trust provides the best outcome
for both staff and service users.
