    Minutes:

    Ms KSharp, Head of Public Health Commissioning, was in attendance for this and the following item.

     

    1.            Ms Sharp introduced the report and explained that the extension currently proposed would take advantage of a clause already present in the current contract.  As the current provider was achieving 100% in relation to mandated performance against key performance indicators, officers had no hesitation in seeking the extension.  Ms Sharp and Mr Scott-Clark responded to comments and questions from Members, as follows:-

     

    a)    the targeting of the condom programme would be based upon areas where demand was highest; and

     

    b)    although the condom programme covered a wide age group, including an increasing number of older people, the age group which most used the service was 20 – 24, with 16 – 19 year olds being the second largest user group.

     

    RESOLVED that the decision proposed to be taken by the Cabinet Member for Adult Social Care and Public Health, to extend the existing contracts for sexual health services to 31st March 2019, be endorsed.
