Agenda and minutes

RESOLVED - to confirm the non-exempt minutes of the meeting of the Cabinet Member - Health and Communities held on 25 March 2021.

Approval was sought from the Cabinet Member for grant funding over the course of two years, at a cost of £35,000 per annum, for the provision of a Perpetrator Programme with Intuitive Thinking Skills (ITS).
