Haringey council has been successful in securing external funding estimated to be £1.3m from the Department of Education and Department of Health and Social Care to implement the Family Hubs Programme in Haringey. Additionally, 35% of the grant allocation should be spent on parenting infant relationship and perinatal mental health services.Therefore we wish to also seek approval to vary the terms of the contract for Parent Infant Psychology Service provision, which is delivered by Whittington Health NHS Trust and extend for further period of 12 months at cost of £265,955. The total aggregate value of the contract will be £757,865 including proposed variation/extension.
