Issue details

The purpose of the report is to gain approval to allocate financial resource to a number of areas to deliver Targeted Testing at Scale (TTaS) for a minimum of 6 weeks.
For completeness some of the finances required have already been approved but are referenced to show the spectrum of spend, in anticipation of future requests requiring approval to sustain the programme between 1st March and 31st March 2021. This has not yet been forecast or resourced and will be highly dependent on the success, footfall and financial position within the first 6 weeks – some sites may need to be stood down.
Recommendations;
•To note the progress made to mobilise this programme at pace through a Team Oldham response.
•To note the military support acquired through the Military Aid to Civilian Authorities (MACA) request and the associated costs.
•To approve the additional financial spend with Unity partnership
•To approve the financial spend for workforce
•To approve the financial spend for sites and delivery
•Understand the financing model we are undertaking with regards to draw down.
