Meeting: 12/07/2017 - Overview and Scrutiny Board (Item 9)
9 Strategic Agreement between Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust and Torbay Council/South Devon and Torbay Clinical Commissioning Group
The Chief Executive (supported by representatives from Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust and South Devon and Torbay CCG) to provide an update on the proposals for the Strategic Agreement between the Council and the Trust and the CCG.
The Mayor to answer any questions.
The Board to consider making any recommendations to the Council.
Minutes:
The Assistant Director – Corporate and Business Services provided an update on the proposals for the Strategic Agreement between the Council and the Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust and the South Devon and Torbay Clinical Commissioning Group. Representatives from the Trust and the CCG also answered the Board’s questions.
The proposed Strategic Agreement included a variation to the Risk Share Agreement whereby the Council would “buy-out” its share of the risk at a set amount for the remainder of the agreement. This would involve the Council providing a higher amount of funding to the Trust than the core funding currently provided. However, it was expected that this fixed amount would be less than the total amount that would need to be provided in future years to take account of the deficits projected by the Trust. The proposed Agreement provided certainty for the Council moving forward on an otherwise potentially volatile budget.
Resolved: that the Council be recommended to accept the proposed variation of the Risk Share Agreement for current and future years subject to the Trust and the CCG also endorsing and agreeing this approach in July 2017.
Meeting: 23/02/2017 - Council (Item 154)
