This report is seeking approval to extend the contracts delivering the Healthy Child Pathway and the Leeds Early Start Service contracts with the existing provider (Leeds Community Healthcare NHS Trust) for one year from the 1st April 2017 to ensure stability and continuity of services whilst Public Health initiates a review of these services.
As a direct consequence of the cuts to public health grant announced by Government in November 2015, and the findings of the Building Blocks Randomised Control Trial evaluation study indicating that the FNP is not the most cost effective way to commission 0-5 services, this report is also seeking approval to reduce the annual value of these contracts and expire of the Family Nurse Partnership service by a contract variation.
The approach will comply with the Council’s Contracts Procedure Rules in relation to contract extensions and variations.
