To consider a joint report of the Leader of the Council and the Cabinet Members for Adult Social Care and for Health.

The Stockport Together Progamme Board is proposing a process for the next phase of consultation on the Programme and is seeking agreement from the Council and Clinical Commissioning Group (as commissioners) to proceed.

The Cabinet is recommended to

·         endorse the Stockport Together Stakeholder Consultation Mandate;

·         authorise the Corporate Director for People, working in conjunction with the Stockport Clinical Commissioning Group Chief Operating Officer (as programme Senior Responsible Officers), in consultation with appropriate Cabinet Members, to agree the final detail of the consultation on behalf of the respective organisations following approval of the mandates.

A joint report of the Leader of the Council and the Cabinet Members for Adult Social Care and for Health was submitted (copies of which had been circulated) inviting the Cabinet to consider the terms of a proposed formal stakeholder consultation by the Stockport Together commissioning partners (the Council and Clinical Commissioning Group) on the substance of the Stockport Together draft Business Cases. The proposals had been developed following advice from the Consultation Institute.

The Leader of the Council emphasised that respondents needed to be clear that the outcome of the consultation would not be ‘no change’ as taking no action to address the funding shortfall in the health and social care economy was not an option. He further emphasised that the proposals had been developed collaboratively by partners involved in the commissioning and delivery of services, and had not been imposed or demanded by others.

RESOLVED – That in relation to the proposed Stockport Together Stakeholder consultation:-

·         the Consultation Mandate be endorsed;

·         the Corporate Director for People, working in conjunction with the Stockport Clinical Commissioning Group Chief Operating Officer (as programme Senior Responsible Officers), in consultation with appropriate Cabinet Members, be authorised to agree the final detail of the consultation on behalf of the respective organisations following approval of the mandates.

To consider a report Corporate Director for People.
