On 12 December 2023, Cabinet:-
(i) Approved the following financial contribution for 2023/24 to the Section 75 agreements for the Better Care Fund - £115,994,636;
(ii) Approved the following financial contribution for 2024/25 to the Section 75 agreement for the Better Care Fund - £116,458,409;
(iii) Authorised the Strategic Director for Adult Social Care to conclude negotiations with Birmingham and Solihull Integrated Care Board in respect of the funding approved under para (i) above on the S75 agreement;
(iv) Delegated authority to the Strategic Director for Adult Social Care to increase the BCC contribution to the Better Care Fund during the years 23/24 and 24/25 in the event of additional, specific funding – such as increased funding for Disabled Facilities Grant - being received by the Local Authority.

Further approval would be sought from the panel for any additional spend as a result of a variation to the plan;
(v) Authorised the City Solicitor (or their delegate) to conclude and enter into all legal documents to give effect to the above.
