The purpose of this paper is to update the Integration Joint Board on developments regarding the proposals for the planned use of the first and second tranche of the new Scottish Government Mental Health Recovery and Renewal Fund 2021/2022 and 2022/23 specifically in relation to Specialist Children’s Services (SCS) CAMHS.
This additional report provides amendments to the report approved by the IJB on 1st December 2021, and the IJB is asked to note the approval of these amendments under delegated authority.
This additional report is necessary to take account of the funding being confirmed as recurring, consequently enabling the recruitment to occur with permanent rather than temporary posts. This is hugely positive and will significantly assist with the challenging task of recruiting specialist staff for the Glasgow partnership.
In addition, further coordination with the neurodevelopment funding from Scottish Government enables the partnership to adopt a more integrated and coordinated approach to both workforce recruitment and planning. Subsequently, requiring an adjustment in the number of posts and the cost of each post.
