New health and care partnership arrangements are being established in response to the Health and Care Act 2022.
As part of these arrangements all partners in Kirklees are being asked to sign a non-legally binding Collaboration Agreement to demonstrate support for the new arrangements.
The Collaboration Agreement was initially drafted by Hill Dickinson solicitors on behalf of the 5 areas in West Yorkshire. Each area is adapting the template agreement. Drafts have been discussed in the Kirklees Health and Care Partnership Forum, and the Health and Wellbeing Board has received regular updates on progress with preparations for the new arrangements, including the development of the Collaboration Agreement.
Legal advice has been provided by the Council’s Legal Service.
Portfolio Holder (Health & Social Care) and Chair of the Health and Wellbeing Board members to be consulted further.
