RESOLVED

That the commencement of a market engagement exercise in November for integrated community health and care services be approved.

The Cabinet Member for Adult Social Care, Health and the Environment presented the report which set out proposals for an engagement exercise with potential providers of community health and care services.  It would be a joint exercise with the Merton and Wandsworth Clinical Commissioning Group and the CCG would be the lead commissioner for the project.  The current jointly commissioned contract was due to end in March 2021 and the opportunity was being explored to commission integrated community services which would provide an opportunity to be ambitious and shift the focus to a preventative personalised approach; and support the further integration of health, social care and voluntary services.

RESOLVED

That the commencement of a market engagement exercise in November for integrated community health and care services be approved.
