Is Callable In?: No

Date of Decision: July 16, 2025

Purpose:

Content:   RESOLVED: Cabinet: ·       Noted the contents of the attachment and approve the adoption of this refreshed version of the Public Health Framework, going forward. ·       Noted that any spend above £500k and which is deemed a key decision, would be recommended to Cabinet for approval in the usual way.   REASONS RESOLVED: Bringing forward this paper to Cabinet ensures there is complete awareness and transparency around the usage of the Public Health Grant and conditions by which it should be spent. It is also to ensure a clear governance process is in place and communicated effectively.   ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS: Since the Framework was developed in 2023, a number of changes and improvements have been made to strengthen the governance processes around the Public Health reserve spend. These were identified primarily as a result of the settling period, post disaggregation from North Northants Council, and have continued to evolve as Public Health has embedded within West Northants culture and practices.
