The Deputy Director of Adults and Health:
Approved the expansion of the current staffing structures to support the transformation as set out in the Executive Board report, which would support an increase in staffing numbers for both Social Work and Occupational Therapy roles. In addition to this, noted the need to ensure the management structures are appropriate in line with this proposal, so the proposal will also include an expansion of the team manager numbers.
Approved the variation to the contract (attached) to enable the continued funding of the Peri Team. The current funding ends on 29/04/22 and is not recurrent. This report is seeking ongoing funding for a further six months.
Given the amounts involved in the recommendations, the first decision is a Key Decision and subject to call in. However, the second decision falls within the definition of a Significant Operational Decision and is not subject to call-in.
