SUBJECT: Agreement Under Section 75 of National Health Service Act
DECISION OF COUNCILLOR NIGEL ASHTON LEADER OF NORTH SOMERSET COUNCIL WITH ADVICE FROM THE DIRECTOR OF PEOPLE AND COMMUNITIES DECISION NO: 86 - 2013/2014 SUBJECT: Agreement under section 75 of National Health Service Act 2006 between North Somerset Council and Avon Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership Trust to deliver social care within an integrated service 1. BACKGROUND 1.1 For well over ten years, Avon Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership Trust (AWP) has been managing North Somerset Council social care staff who have been deployed into an integrated mental health and social care service. Although this is an established service, there has never been a clear defined basis on which the council or AWP were operating. This meant that it was difficult for the council to hold AWP to account for delivery of social care or to be included transparently within AWP service developments. The service has been maintained purely through managing the working relationships between both organizations. 1.2 The council has 31.3 fte staff within the integrated service and in addition has 0.4 of a services manager and 1 JM3 to provide professional social care oversight, quality assurance, support and guidance to AWP to ensure adherence to council’s processes, ethos and procedures, including the focus on People and Communities strategic direction. There are also 1.6 Managers who lead the council’s Approved Mental Health Professional service. 1.3 AWP, as commissioned by North Somerset Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), undertook a redesign three years ago and this was follow up by a further restructure on the appointment of a new chief executive in November 2012. -

HON. PATRICK JENKIN MP SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT 1. At present the New Barn residential area is split between Dartford Borough, Sevenoaks District and Gravesham Borough; the part situated in Dartford is in the parish of ^outhfleet; the part in Sevenoaks is in the parish of Longfield, whilst the part in Gravesham is unparished. On 30 November 1979» Gravesham Borough Council requested ue to review the boundaries between the districts of Gravesham, Dartford and Sevenoaks in the vicinity of New Barn. Their request was in response to representations from the New Barn Ratepayers Association for the whole of the New Barn residential area to be incorporated within Gravesham Borough. The Association based their representations on a survey of opinion which they carried out in 1978 among the residents of New Barn on the question of whether the area should be under one authority, and if so, which one. The results indicated that a majority (8?#) of residents indicating a view preferred to see New Barn under one authority and a large proportion (6990 of these considered that this should be Gravesham. 2. We noted that Kent County Council, Dartford Borough Council, Sevenoaks District Council, and Longfield Parish Council were all opposed to a review beinp undertaken at that time, although Kent County Council and Dartford BOrough Council did a^ree that the current boundaries in the New Barn area were not wholly satisfactory. -
Combined Authorities and Metro Mayors
Combined Authorities and Metro Mayors What is a combined authority (CA)? A combined authority (CA) is a legal body set up using national legislation that enables a group of two or more councils to collaborate and take collective decisions across council boundaries. It is far more robust than an informal partnership or even a joint committee. The creation of a CA means that member councils can be more ambitious in their joint working and can take advantage of powers and resources devolved to them from national government. While established by Parliament, CAs are locally owned and have to be initiated and supported by the councils involved. 54 (17%) Number of local authorities (excluding the 33 London boroughs) with full membership of a combined authority 22% Percentage of population of England outside London living in a mayoral combined authority area Brief background to devolution and the combined authorities The idea of devolution has excited the imaginations of the political class for a long time even if the public has been less enthusiastic. The turnout rates for the May 2017 Metro Mayor 1 elections attest to this. Devolution was given a big push under New Labour but John Prescott’s North East Devolution Referendum 2004 was decisively rejected by the people (78% of voters were against). The idea was nevertheless pursued by the Coalition. Heseltine’s No Stone Unturned: In pursuit of growth 2012 report made a reasonable case for the concentration of funding streams and for these to be placed under local political control for greater efficiency and flexibility and to maximise effect. -

Environment and Economy Overview Committee Insert Item
Page 1–LTP Passenger Transport Strategy Agenda Item: Environment Insert and Economy Item Overview No. Committee Date of Meeting 19 January 2016 Officer Head of Economy Local Transport Plan 2011 – 2026: Passenger Transport Subject of Report Strategy Executive Summary This Passenger Transport Strategy has been developed as part of the County Council’s Holistic Transport Review and provides a framework for the programmes of work arising from the review in a way that is consistent with the objectives included in the Local Transport Plan for Bournemouth, Dorset and Poole (LTP3). The Holistic Transport Review aims to reduce the County Council’s revenue spend on passenger transport services by £1.5m over the thee-year period to March 2018. The review incorporates all activities including commissioning, procurement and administration of vehicles and transport related services including 3rd party providers. The overall objective of LTP3 is to “seek a balanced, low carbon transport system which limits the most damaging effects of car usage and provides real choice in alternatives to the private car”. Impact Assessment: Equalities Impact Assessment: An equalities impact assessment was undertaken during development of LTP3. Whilst the Passenger Transport Strategy PDF processed with CutePDF evaluation edition www.CutePDF.com Page 2–LTP Passenger Transport Strategy proposes no new policies, it is likely that reduced funding for public transport support and any resultant reduction in service will have a disproportionate impact on older people, young people and those without access to a motor car, since people in these groups are likely to make greater use of bus services. Use of Evidence: Consultation undertaken during the development of LTP3. -
