Department of Community and Children's Services' - Progress against the Commissioning Strategy

Report of the Director of Community & Children's Services.

Minutes:

Members considered an update report on the progress of the Department of Community and Children’s Services in implementing the ‘Commissioning Strategy’ which was approved by the Efficiency and Performance Sub Committee in September 2011.

 

In particular, Members were advised that two reviews had now been completed, saving a total of £400k per annum from April 2013.

 

A new review on ‘Public Health Commissioning’ was about to be undertaken which would evaluate all existing public health contracts with a view to identifying further savings.

 

The Chairman thanked Neal Hounsell and the Department of Community & Children's Services for their excellent work and it was noted that the department should be held up as an example of good practice to the rest of the City Corporation.
