Issue - meetings

To consider a joint report of the Cabinet Members for Adult Social Care, for Health and for Reform & Governance.

The report introduces the proposed draft Alliance Provider Agreement (APA) between the provider partners of Stockport Together; namely the Council, Stockport NHS Foundation Trust, Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust and Viaduct Health.  The agreement sets out the key draft terms to be agreed including the governance arrangements for the alliance to meet the aims of (a) delivering the new models of care as described in the Stockport Together Business Cases and (b) providing a governance framework for the integrated transitional management team and neighbourhood teams.

The Cabinet is recommended to:

·         Agree the Council forming part of the Alliance and being party to the Alliance Provider Agreement; and,

·         Delegate the finalisation, completion and the Council entering into the Alliance Provider Agreement and any ancillary agreements, and (to the extent possible) the creation of governance framework for the integrated transitional management team and neighbourhood teams to the Deputy Chief Executive and Corporate Director for People in consultation with the Cabinet Members for Adult Social care, Health and Reform and Governance.
