To receive a Memorandum of Understanding. (15 mins)

The Board considered the Wokingham Integrated Partnership Memorandum of Understanding.

During the discussion of this item the following points were made:

·         A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Wokingham Borough Council, Berkshire West CCG (Wokingham Locality), Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, Wokingham GP Alliance and Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust, had been developed for the provision of integrated adult health and social care services.

·         It was proposed that the Memorandum of Understanding would bolster the existing Section 75 agreement between partners.

·         Katie Summers suggested that the Board note the Memorandum of Understanding and then reconsider it at a future meeting once it had been considered and adopted by the Clinical Commissioning Group.

RESOLVED:  That

1)         the Memorandum of Understanding be noted;

2)         the Board recognise that it [the MOU] was an important and significant step in the development of a new collaborative partnership for health and social care in Wokingham;

3)         the Board reconsider the Memorandum of Understanding after it had been adopted by the Clinical Commissioning Group.
