The Cabinet Member Corporate Services and Education reminded Cabinet that the Joint Corporate Plan was for Herefordshire Council and NHS Herefordshire setting out the measures, targets and projects which formed the basis for joint working. 

Cabinet made the following comments:

• 1.6 improved access to superfast broadband and wider use of technologies – targets were being revised to reflect those of government and national requirements.  For the superfast phase I & II broadband project, 30 companies had expressed interest.
• 3.2 improved intervention and support for children and young people and keeping them safe.  It was noted this was an area it was difficult to have a fixed budget for as a child might need to be moved into care at short notice.

RESOLVED: That the measures, targets and projects (as shown at pages 2-8 of Appendix 1 to the report) be approved.
