Consideration was given to a report of the Cabinet Member for Adult Care and Wellbeing / Chief Finance Officer (Health and Social Care Integration) seeking approval of the opening budgets and the revised risk share arrangements for the Pooled Fund.

Alternatives considered

The operation of a formal pool in 2021/22 is in line with the requirements of the GM Health and Social Care Partnership and therefore no alternatives considered.

RESOLVED

1.    That the opening budgets and the revised risk share arrangements be approved for the Pooled Fund be approved for 2021/22.

2.    That this is a time limited proposal as a result of Covid 19 and a risk sharing approach will be implemented for 2022/23.

Reason for resolution

Approval of the Pooled Fund is a statutory requirement.
