Purpose:

Part 3 Schedule 3 - Responsibility for Executive Functions delegated to Officers paragraph 4.3 (1) - the Corporate Director has delegated authority to discharge executive functions within their respective service areas (Part 3.38). All delegations are subject to consultation where considered appropriate in the circumstances (paragraph 4.0 (4(ii) - Part 3.39) The corporate director Paul Price, Operational Services has delegated operational matters relating to the licence agreement for the hire of the treatment rooms at Clacton Leisure Centre to Mike Carran, Head of Sport and Leisure, Operational Services

Decision:

To offer a licence agreement for the hire of Treatment Room 2 at Clacton Leisure Centre for the purpose of Osteopathy and other related services for two days per week for a period of twelve months. To facilitate the use of the treatment room for Osteopathy Services. This will generate income for Leisure Centre and encourage new visitors.

Alternative options considered:

The option to only hire staff to deliver treatments in the rooms was considered, but deemed a higher financial risk due to staffing costs including on costs. A higher operational risk due to the need to launder towels etc.. and provide insurance and equipment. A higher reputational risk for the organisation if clients are let down for appointments as it would be difficult to provide cover at short notice.
