Recommendations:

1.    That the interim findings of the Public Health consultation be noted.

2.    That, following initial responses, the timeline for further stakeholder and public consultation be endorsed.

3.    That a further report on the five year vision for Public Health in Rotherham be submitted to a future meeting.

Consideration was given to a report which detailed the interim findings from the consultation process up to 1 September 2016 for the future direction of Public Health services in Rotherham.

It was reported that a series of measures had been introduced to balance the Public Health budget for 2016/17 and proposals for future savings in 2017/18 had also been explored and achieved through existing contract tenders which were due to expire by March 2017. It was noted that any final proposals for further savings would be considered alongside other service proposals as part of the Council’s 2017 /18 budget setting process. The findings of the public consultation would also be considered and will inform the future direction of Public Health services in Rotherham.

(1)  That the interim findings of the Public Health consultation be noted.

(2)  That, following initial responses, the timeline for further stakeholder and public consultation be endorsed.
