Minutes:

The Director of Adult Social Services submitted a report providing information and proposals for developing greater access to universal wellbeing support through Neighbourhood Network Schemes (NNS) and highlighting issues and proposed remedies.

 

RESOLVED -

 

a)  That approval be given for the adoption and application of the Neighbourhood Network Schemes’ funding formula.

 

b)  That approval be given for a revised NNS service specification which sets out the long term vision for NNS and which incentivises collaborative models of working and organisation.

 

c)  That approval be given for Adult Social Services to identify the funding investment shortfall of £370,000 within the 2010/11 budget setting round for inclusion into the new contractual arrangements due to be let in that year.

 

d)  That in the light of advice provided by corporate colleagues, and as set out in paragraph 3.28 of the submitted report, the potential need for a contract extension for existing NN providers be noted, which would be managed through the delegated powers of the Director of Adult Social Services should this prove to be necessary.
