The proposed decision was discussed at the Adult Social Care Cabinet Committee Meeting on 23 November 2017.
Financial implications: The total value of the mental health grants is £642k.
Legal implications: There are Section 256 agreements in place with all of the seven Kent Clinical Commissioning Groups, these were drawn up when the Live Well Kent Contract was commissioned and cover all joint funding for Mental Health services. A further Section 256 is required with Medway Council as the lead commissioner on behalf of Medway CCG; it is in draft and is awaiting formal sign off.
Equalities implications: The existing Live Well Kent EqIA has been reviewed in relation to the additional grants detailed above and has been deemed as still appropriate and relevant. Impact on individuals will be minimal as there is no difference in service provision; the only change is to the funding arrangements.
