Report by the Director of Adult Social Care and Health

7.1       The Lead Member considered a report by the Director of Adult Social Care and Health. 

DECISIONS

7.2       The Lead Member RESOLVED to (1) agree in principle to amend the East Sussex Better Together (ESBT) Alliance Agreement for 2018/19 as set out in paragraph 2.1 of the report, and that authority is delegated to the Chief Executive to finalise and agree these amendments, including entering into an ESBT Alliance data sharing agreement with the other partners;

(2) agree to delegate authority to the Chief Executive to make any other amendments to the Alliance Agreement they consider appropriate arising from the governance review, from a review of learning from the first year and to ensure that the Agreement remains fit for purpose going forward; and

(3) agree to extend the ESBT Alliance Agreement for a further year until 31 March 2020. 

Reasons

7.3       The extension to the Alliance Agreement will help provide the stability and consistency needed for our place-based arrangement in the context of the wider Sustainability and Transformation Programme.  Further changes may be necessary as a result of wider system reviews and exploration of possibilities for different approaches to governance, based on our continued learning and the requirements of our integrated system working, and delivering financial recovery going forward as well as our future plans for transformation.
