Decision details

Councillor C Hart introduced a report, which had been circulated in advance if the meeting, seeking approval to increase the financial value of the Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) budget on the forward plan of procurements in the Adult Social Care and Health Service Plan 2017-2021.

Councillor Hart explained that recommendation in the report needed to be amended because the stop smoking services would now be delivered by the Live Life Better Derbyshire rather than the NHS. This would therefore result in the value of the procurement being higher than anticipated at £5 million, although total spend was unlikely to reach this level.

RESOLVED:

To approve the increase in the financial value of the Nicotine replacement Therapy (NRT) budget on the forward plan of procurements in the Adult Social Care and Health Service Plan 2017-2021 from £1.25million to £5 million over the 5 years of the new contract for the reasons set out in the report.
