To invite Cabinet to commend for Council’s approval the Council and NHS Herefordshire Joint Corporate Plan vision, objectives and long-term outcomes.

THAT Cabinet recommends to Council the approval of the Council and NHS Herefordshire Joint Corporate Plan vision, objectives and long-term outcomes as set out at Appendix 1.  

As for Alternative Options.

The Council’s constitution requires there to be an up-to-date Corporate Plan. This could, as in the past, be for the Council alone. However, the uniquely close partnership established with NHS Herefordshire requires a sound basis for the specification and performance management of their joint vision, objectives and desired long-term outcomes. The Joint Corporate Plan will provide this, and forms part of the Council’s Budget and Policy Framework.  

None. The plan is designed to be deliverable within the medium term financial strategies.
