Under reference to paragraph 5 of the Minute of the meeting dated 28 June 2018 a report by the Legal Services Manager (Litigation & Licensing), Moray Council, asked the Board to review part of the Board's Scheme of Administration, which deals with the Board's committee structure and working groups in relation to the Strategic Planning and Commissioning Group. The report further asked the Board to note the approach being set out in pursuit of a whole systems planning approach.
The Chair advised appendix 1 of the report should have been highlighted to show changes but that this was not evident on the paper copies issued only on the online version of the appendix.
The Chief Officer (CO) advised the changes noted online to those with paper copies of the appendix and the reasoning behind the suggested amendments.
Mr Passmore sought clarification on the CO having the authority to sign off work without the agreement of the Board.
In response the CO advised there had been many discussions on hosting services and the Board, as a Public Body, directed the NHS and Local Authority to undertake work, the CO did not have authority to do this without Board approval.
Mrs Webb was of the opinion the Plan would benefit from having decision making criteria included.
In response the CO advised the Plan was a first draft which would be refined to include decision making criteria.
Thereafter the Board agreed to:
- note the Strategic Planning and Commissioning Group arrangements attached as appendix 1 of the report;
- changes to the arrangements as noted in appendix 1 of the report;
- note the local and planned pan-Grampian approach to strategic planning and transformation;
- note the Sustainability and Transformation Plan will be presented to the Board in the spring of 2019; and
- the inclusion of decision making criteria in the Plan.
