Minutes:

Cllr Pauline Church, Cabinet Member for Children, Education and Skills presented a report which provided information in respect of an extension to the Wiltshire Children’s Community Healthcare Service (WCCHS) contract, currently delivered by Virgin Care Services (VCS).

 

Resolved:    That a two-year extension is awarded with a contract variation that the service will:

 

  1. report on outcomes and impact

 

  1. demonstrate an increased population health needs led approach to service development

 

  1. be more actively engaged in the FACT Programme; and

 

  1. strengthen relationships and integrated working with key partner agencies, such as Children’s Services.

 

Reason for Decision:

 

The contract with Virgin Care to deliver the Wiltshire Children’s Community Healthcare Service expires on 31 March 2021. The contract allows for the contract to be extended for a further two years. This will enable the CCG and Council to have sufficient time to fully engage professionals, parents/carers, children and young people to coproduce a new delivery model from April 2023.
