Decision details

Seek cabinet member approval to change the South Derbyshire Health and Wellbeing Partnership funding recipient

That the Cabinet Member for Health and Communities approves the change of the South Derbyshire Health and Wellbeing Partnership funding recipient to South Derbyshire CVS from South Derbyshire District Council as previously agreed by Cabinet with effect from 1st October 2024 and agrees that £64,382.18 (£54,382.18 plus £10,000 small grants) is transferred to South Derbyshire CVS as part of the main locality agreement for 2024-2025 to be spent within the 2024-2025 financial year.

 The Public Health Locality Programme contributes to improving health, wellness and reducing health inequalities at a local level. The eight Health and Wellbeing Partnerships facilitate the involvement of local partners and communities using a collaborative approach in the design and delivery to improve local health outcomes.

The change to recipient will mean the South Derbyshire Health and Wellbeing Partnership can receive the devolved funding and implement their locally agreed community activities to improve health and wellbeing for the local population. 

 Alternative option: Do not approve a change to recipient within the South Derbyshire Health and Wellbeing Partnership

This is not a preferred option. The funding would not be directly devolved to the South Derbyshire Health and Wellbeing Partnership and would need to be held by Public Health, and each item of spend would need to come to the Cabinet Member for approval creating considerable delays to decision making on individual health projects, administration and resources, and ultimately delaying health improvements within the South Derbyshire region.
