Draft 2016/17 Better Care Fund Plan Additional documents: Minutes: Antony Dixon presented the report of the Assistant Chief Executive presenting details of draft financial elements of the 16/17 Better Care Fund (BCF) Plan for approval ahead of submission to NHS England. Antony highlighted the following:
(a)
a draft version of the plan must be submitted to NHS England by
8th February 2016, focussing on its high-level financial
aspects; (b) the financial plan for the 2016/17 BCF plan is broadly similar to that of 2015/16. Additional schemes include: · Community Psychiatric Nurses in Neighbourhood Teams; · Older People Independent Living Support Service; · Older Person Home Safety and Improvement Service; · Seven Day Services in Rapid Response and Hospital Discharge; · CDG Assessor posts; · Primary Carers Service; · Information and Advice support posts;
(c)
Some of the proposed new services still need to go through some
processes before final approval, for example the 7 Day Working Task
and Finish Group; (d)
the amount of Capital Grant allocation paid directly to the Local
Authority has not yet been confirmed; (e)
the current total for the BCF Plan is
£26.118m, which is £0.273 over the funding available.
This shortfall could either be met by reviewing the schemes, or by
using the underspends from 2015/16; The Sub-Committee recorded its concern about the length of time in finding out the amount of Capital Grant allocation that will be paid.
RESOLVED to
(1)
approve the draft budget for the 2016/17; (2)
note that a further report to approve the final BCF
Plan submission will be presented to the Sub-Committee at a later
stage; (3) agree that the shortfall in funding the 2016/17 BCF Financial Plan can be funded through the carry forward of underspends within the pooled fund from the current financial year. |
