Joint Commissioning Strategy 2017-2020
Havering Council is restructuring its adult services and commissioning team, considering an interim strategy for 2025-26.
Havering Council's Cabinet decided in October 2025 to restructure its adult services and commissioning team, with completion expected by December 2025. This decision follows changes at NHS North East London, which is cutting running costs by 50%, and will end the current integrated commissioning model.
In October 2025, the Cabinet also considered an interim Adults Commissioning Strategy for 2025-26, which replaces the previous Joint Commissioning Strategy 2017-2020. Councillor Gillian Ford, Cabinet Member for Adults and Wellbeing, explained these changes.
