public health services for the whole population and delivery of
housing for the Borough, including: -
 
3. Public Health (a)
Commissioning and Quality (b) Health Improvement (c) Health
Intelligence (d) Health Protection

Decision:

To award the contract variation
to the 0-19 Integrated Public Health Nursing Service with The
Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust as per the Cabinet paper of 13
February 2023.
 

Reasons for the
Decision:

Rotherham has been awarded the
Family Hubs and Start for Life Grant. The Grant was made available
to Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council by the Department of
Education (DfE) and the Department for Health and Social Care
(DHSC) as one of the 75 Local Authorities that were
selected.
 
On 13 February 2023 Cabinet
accepted the Grant funding and approved the approach to the
governance and management of the Grant.
 
It is to be directly awarded to
The Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust as Health Visitors are already
delivering the activities above as part of the current contract on
a targeted basis, and therefore, the universal provision can only
be delivered by the Service.

options considered and rejected:
