The Cabinet considered a report of the Corporate Director for People presenting the draft integrated Market Position Statement for providers of adult health and social care services.

Resolved:-

1.    That the commitments for citizens, commissioners and providers, as set out on pages 1 and 2 of the submitted statement, be approved.

2.    That the tools to support the market as set out on page 2 of the statement, be noted. 

3.    That the Council commits to the next steps as set out on page 13 of the submitted statement.

4.    That the Director for People and the Chief Accountable Officer of Southend Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) in consultation with the portfolio holder for Health and Social care, be authorised to publish refreshed and focused chapters.

Reasons for Decision

The Market Position Statement is not a statutory document, but local authorities are expected to have one because it informs providers about the strategic direction for care in the borough.

Other options

None.
