Decision details
Use of Contain Outbreak Management Fund to provide Emergency Energy Support
PDF 89 KBDecision Maker: Cabinet Member for Health and Communities
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
To seek approval from the Cabinet Member for
Health and Communities to utilise Contain Outbreak Management
Funding to:
Strengthen emergency energy support within Derbyshire for an
additional 10 months from December 2021 to Sept 2022, at a cost of
£64,000.
Decision:
That the Cabinet Member for Health and
Communities approves the usage of Contain Outbreak Management
Funding to:
Strengthen emergency energy support within Derbyshire for an
additional 10 months from December 2021 to September 2022, at a
cost of £64,000, through provision of a grant award to
Marches Energy Advice.
Reasons for the decision:
Offer longer term capacity to provide
emergency energy support that will enable people in Derbyshire to
have the confidence or resources to self-isolate
effectively.
Alternative options considered:
Do nothing: Risk that demand will outstrip
resources, once existing funding runs out, or that staff will leave
the organisation as contracts come to an end.
Consider strengthening other providers. This carries the risk that
complex situations requiring specialist energy advice will not be
addressed.
