To consider a report requesting delegated authority for Redditch Borough representatives on the Worcestershire Shared Services Joint Committee to approve changes to the Agreement for the Shared Service to reflect the removal of Health and Wellbeing from the functionality of the service and to approve the attendant budgetary changes.

(Report attached)

The Committee considered a report which sought agreement to modify the statement of partner service requirements for Worcestershire Regulatory Services by removing the requirements in relation to health and wellbeing and health promotion. It was reported that work in relation to health and wellbeing and health promotion was now largely undertaken by other bodies.

It was noted that the proposed change would result in savings to the Borough Council of £22,000 per annum and would avoid duplication of the function.

RESOLVED that

1)         the statement of partner service requirements for Worcestershire Regulatory Services be modified by removing the requirements in relation to health and wellbeing and health promotion; and

2)         delegated authority be given to the Head of Legal, Equalities and Democratic Services, following consultation with the relevant Portfolio Holders, to make the relevant amendments to the legal agreement with the other partners.
