The Board discussed declarations of interest and agreed that all Board Members could stay in the meeting room during consideration of this agenda item. However, only Council’s Elected Members and NHS Greater Manchester Representatives took part to the decision on this matter.

The Board considered a report of the Director of Public Health which sought approval of Public Health Commissioning Intentions 2024/25.

The Head of Commissioning attended the meeting to present the information and answered the questions of the Board.

The Chair sought and received assurance that all the appropriate procurement processes had been followed and all contracts represented good value for money.

Resolved that the recommendations outlined at point 2 of the report be approved.

Alternatives considered and rejected:

Alternatives had been considered when developing all of the recommendations in this report. The recommendation for each element ensured that high quality services were delivered in the borough, best value was achieved and, where possible, stability for staff and service users was prioritised.

Reason for decision:

To ensure that the Council remained contractually compliant in relation to the services in scope.
