There followed discussion on the appointment of a Chair of the Audit, Performance and Risk Committee and the Chair of the Board advised appointment would be for the next two meetings only as the Chair of the Board was due to change to a NHS Grampian member in October and therefore the position of Committee Chairs would then be taken by Moray Council Members.

Mr Passmore was of the opinion that the Committee was providing a good evaluation of work being undertaken however he thought it should also look at the quality of services as they undergo change and future reports should provide assurance changes are being made in a safe manner.

 

The CO undertook to take the comment on board and ensure that where change is being undertaken that this was reflected in future reports to the Committee.

 

Thereafter the Board agreed to:
