The report sought approval to extend the Public Health Community Nursing contract, covering health visiting and school nursing services, to 31 March 2025. The extension would maintain continuity for children, young people and families while allowing time to consider future commissioning arrangements.

The current annual contract value and 2023/24 net budget are £4,860,945, funded from the ring-fenced Public Health grant. Funding for 2024/25 had not been confirmed but was anticipated to be available through March 2025.
