Local Area Agreements for Lincolnshire
Aim of these policies
LAAs aim to improve local public service delivery, by providing a new framework for the relationship between central and local government.
The relationship is one in which local authorities, alongside other local partners, define and propose a set of priorities for service delivery in their own area, which are then negotiated and agreed by central government.
Outline of Local Area Agreements policy
Local Area Agreements are agreements, covering the area of one or more local authorities, which focus on a collection of goals across a range of services and which can relate to either national or local priorities.
The local authority liaises with a range of bodies with an interest in joined up delivery to set these priorities.
In particular, the policy aims to promote a high level of engagement of Local Strategic Partnerships. Funding for achieving these priorities comes from the respective bodies involved, through the pooling or alignment of existing budgets.
The relevant government office for the region, handles the negotiation of the LAA with the local authority and partners. Health is represented at all levels of government office handling, with Regional Directors of Public Health (RDsPH) on the senior steering boards.
Once agreement is reached, the LAA is sent to ministers in central departments for sign-off. Proposed LAAs are sent to the Secretary of State for Health accompanied by an assessment by the relevant RDsPH of the health content and a view as to whether or not the LAA should be agreed.
The ‘functional blocks’ are:
healthy communities and older people;
children and young people;
stronger and safer communities
Not a simple project, trying to put it in plain English,
if funding for sport comes into the County,
Where would it be spent?, and should it be spent,
or given to a higher need sector?
Sport needs to be represented!
