Agenda item

Report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services.

Members noted that tobacco control, substance misuse and health checks were already being provided for workers at a number of diverse locations in the City, but to bring them together with other preventative services such as stress counselling,

physiotherapy, inoculations, minor injuries and sexual health services in a

single, well publicised location was an opportunity to deliver a wider range of

services more efficiently and effectively.

Resolved: That Members noted the project proposal and agreed the next steps:

1. Conduct space planning, cost assessment and a building survey

to clarify the potential of the mezzanine as a workplace health

centre and to enable a viability appraisal to be undertaken.

2. Take the proposal to the next stage (report to Gateway 3/4 –

Options Appraisal) including consideration of the proposal

alongside a commercial redevelopment option.
