This report updates members on progress following the disaggregation of Public Health Dorset in April 2025 and the establishment of two separate Public Health teams within Dorset Council and Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole (BCP) Council. It also sets out the proposed future direction for how Public Health functions and services will be delivered and commissioned, including where joint working between the two councils should continue.

The Health and Social Care Overview & Scrutiny Committee is asked to consider the report and make recommendations to Cabinet that endorse the progress made to date, agree the proposed principles for future joint commissioning, and support the recommended future direction for Public Health services
