Overview and Scrutiny Committee
Decision:
163/2008 The Cabinet agreed to implement an
improved integrated 24 hour service delivery through one point of
access, supported by robust performance management and develop an
implementation plan to review all finances and re-commission
integrated comprehensive service accountable to the Children's
Trust.
Reasons for the decision:
The review has identified weaknesses in
current provision, which means that we are not meeting the
emotional health and well - being needs of children. Future
commissioning should be jointly funded, based on an assessment of
needs and subject to new management and governance arrangements,
thereby requiring substantial change to the current
position.
