Decision details

Mental health partnership Agreement under Section 75 NHS Act 2006 London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham (H&F) and West London Mental Health Trust (WLMHT)

Decision Maker: Cabinet

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

The partnership agreement for providing mental health services to H&F residents was delegated to WLMHT back in 2001 under Section 31 of the Health Act 1999. These arrangements now fall under Section 75 of the NHS Act 2006.
Over the last few years H&F mental health service provisions have changed, projects have closed and developments have been made under the integrated arrangement with WLMHT. In addition there have been re-organisation of Adult Social Care through the Council’s Tri-borough arrangements and WLMHT has gone through a recent management re-structure as well. Therefore it is important that we review our partnership under the new climate.

Decision:

That approval be given to the updated Partnership Agreement with West London Mental Health Trust for the provision of Mental Health Services.

 

That the Tri-borough Executive Director for Adult Social Care be authorised to sign the new agreement.
