To approve the following documents: market position statement 2017-2020, director of public health annual report 2016, adult social care local account 2016, and the new adults wellbeing and public health plans 2017-2020.

THAT:

(a) the following be approved for publication:

·       annual report of the director of public health 2016 (at appendix 3)

·       adult social care local account 2015/2016 (at appendix 2)

·       market position statement 2017/20 (at appendix 5)

(b) the following plans be approved and used to guide resource allocation over

the period 2017/2020:

·       adults wellbeing plan 2017/20 (at appendix 1)

·       public health plan 2017/18 (at appendix 4)

To meet statutory or government requirements, it is necessary to publish the DPH

annual report, local account and market position statement.

To provide transparency about the way in which council resources for adult wellbeing

and public health will be prioritised in the period to March 2020 in order to achieve the corporate plan and health and wellbeing strategy priorities.

There are no alternative options to receiving and publishing the annual report of the

director of public health (DPH) or to publishing a market position statement as these

are statutory requirements. It is a government requirement to publish a local account

of adult social care.

There is no requirement to produce an adults wellbeing plan or a public health plan,

and if such plans are produced the content may be varied by cabinet. However, in

doing so, regard should be had to the resource available, and the evidence of need,

to ensure that the council can achieve its corporate plan ambitions.
