Decision details

Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) Grant Funding for Refuges, Specialist Accommodation Based Support and Service Reform

Decision Maker: Cabinet Member for Adult and Community Services

Decision status: Recommendations approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Purpose:

This report outlines the proposed arrangements for transferring grant funding to the district and unitary councils of Lancashire as well as the proposed arrangements for the use of funding to vary existing Lancashire County Council contracts as outlined in the bid.

 

This is deemed to be a Key Decision and the provisions of Standing Order No 27 have been complied with.

 

Decision:

County Councillor David Borrow, the Deputy Leader of the County Council and County Councillor Tony Martin, the Cabinet Member for Adult and Community Services approved the recommendations as set out in the full report.

 

This decision should be implemented immediately for the purposes of Standing Order 34(3) as any delay could adversely affect the execution of the County Council's responsibilities. The reason for this is that some of the providers named in the bid, who will provide the services through SLA's with their district councils, are in a position where they need the agreements, or the work to develop the agreements, to start from 1 April 2017 at the latest.

 

The full report is not available for publication as it contains exempt information as defined in Paragraph 3 of Part 1 of Schedule 12A to the Local Government Act 1972. The report contains information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information). It is considered that in all the circumstances of the case the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information.
