Management of the Pooled Fund. The Pooled Fund is created from allocations to the CCG and the Council but the arrangements do not absolve the relevant Partner of their statutory responsibilities. These are retained by the CCG Governing Body and the Council Cabinet/Executive. The governance arrangements for the BCF have therefore been designed to meet the requirements of the Partners to achieve economy, efficiency and effectiveness in their use of resources. This has been to ensure that: • Each Partner will also need to satisfy itself that the Pooled Fund complies with the requirements of its appropriate code of governance and annual governance reporting guidance1. • Each Partner must also satisfy itself that all other regulatory requirements are met e.g. ensure that discrete capital grant funding streams are only spent in accordance with the relevant grant conditions. Partners therefore need to make arrangements to ensure that this is happening. Given that the CCG and the Council are subject to different statutory provisions, it will be for each Partner to consider the regulatory impact of the decisions made. This is likely to be more onerous for the CCG in the partnership as they work within a tight regulatory framework: they are required to meet both NHS England and the Department of Health’s reporting requirements, and their auditors are required to express an explicit opinion on the regularity of their transactions. It is recognised that, although the Better Care Fund will operate as a Pooled Fund, the conditions attached to each funding stream will still have to be met. For example, where funding such as the 1 For the local authority the CIPFA/SOLACE Delivering Good Governance in Local Government: Framework and for the CCG, HM Treasury’s Managing Public Money and the UK Corporate Governance Code Disabled Facilities Grant has been earmarked for a particular purpose, it must be used only for that purpose. Appropriate accounting arrangements are in place.
