Who we work with

We work in partnership with and commission services from a number of providers to meet the needs of local people. Here are some of our main partners and providers who help us to achieve better health for the people of Rotherham.

Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council

Rotherham is a Metropolitan Borough Council that provides a wide range of services that play a role in the daily lives of everyone who lives or works in the Borough. It is led by a Cabinet, a group of ten councillors who make key decisions about the Council's policy and budget. The Cabinet recommends policy and the Council's annual budget to the full Council.

The Council is responsible for providing Public Health services to the local population. The Public Health staff and services transferred from the NHS to Rotherham Council from 1 April 2013.

The Rotherham Health and Wellbeing Board is a sub-committee of the Council. It is chaired by the Cabinet Member with responsibility for health and wellbeing, and involves elected members, representatives from the local authority children's and adult's services, the Clinical Commissioning Group, the voluntary sector, Director of Public Health and key providers of NHS services.

Care for older and vulnerable people, highways, parks, street lighting, schools, youth services, housing, street cleaning and libraries are just some of the other services provided by the Council, alongside a number of areas that support partner organisations across Rotherham.

Healthwatch Rotherham

Healthwatch is the new independent consumer champion created to gather and represent the views of the public. Healthwatch will play a role at both national and local level and will make sure that the views of the public and people who use services are taken into account.

Local Healthwatch will take on the work of the Local Involvement Networks (LINks) and will also: - represent the views of people who use services, carers and the public on the Health and Wellbeing boards set up by local authorities - provide a complaints advocacy service from 2013 to support people who make a complaint about services - report concerns about the quality of health care to Healthwatch England, which can then recommend that the Care Quality Commission take action.
