Decision - Sussex Partnership Foundation Trust (SPFT) Contract

As SPT move into foundation trust status, the nature of our arrangements through section 75 agreement need to be considered.

This was deferred to the November Housing Cabinet Member Meeting (originally set for 02 July CMM).

Deferred as main contract for SPT delayed.  Possible completion March 2009.

This item was deferred on 25^th February at the request of the Director and will now be deferred until later in the year. The reason for the delay is that agreements between The Primary Care Trust, The Sussex Partnership Foundation Trust and the Local Authority on how the Section 75 arrangements are to be reflected within the new foundation trust contract have yet to be agreed.

(1)       That the current contractual position be noted.

(2)       That there be a further update report from officers.
