We propose to:
- reduce the staffing establishment of the commissioning function
- make efficiencies relating to the Gateshead Equipment Service
- remodel provision of information and advice services
- cease three contracts with Mental Health Matters
- make reductions in supplies budgets
Part of this proposal would be achieved through the deletion of posts from the establishment.
The service will continue to explore opportunities to provide greater efficiencies relating to delivery of its functions, including achieving improved economies of scale across the council and with partners.
Mitigating the impact of the Mental Health Contracts requires discussion with health colleagues.
Proposed amount: £529,000
