To submit the report of the Head of Service (Children’s Services).

RESOLVED to approve the go ahead of the implementation of the single, integrated Specialist Children’s Service via a formal partnership underpinned by a Section 33 Agreement with the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board.

Submitted - The report of the Head of Service (Childrens’ Services) seeking Executive approval to move ahead with the implementation of the single integrated Specialist Children’s Service, via a formal partnership underpinned by a Section 33 Agreement with the Betsi Cadwalader University Health Board.

Reported - That the proposal was to integrate a collection of health and social care services, which were currently co-located, into one integrated service – the Specialist Children’s Service (SCS).  The SCS would employ health and social care professionals under one organisational structure, employ a Service Manager to run and manage the service, and have an integrated stategy, set of policies, procedures, budgets, and a joined-up approach to staff management and training.

The Head of Service wished it to be recorded that Human Resources did not have any observations under implications and impacts which was contrary to what had been inadvertently stated in the report.

RESOLVED to approve the go ahead of the implementation of the single, integrated Specialist Children’s Service via a formal partnership underpinned by a Section 33 Agreement with the Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board.
