Report by Head of Finance and Transformation

The Board gave consideration to a report providing an overview of the HSCP’s Covid-19 mobilisation readiness and its future planning for living and operating with Covid-19.  The report also provided a snapshot of the financial estimates of the costs of dealing with the Covid-19 response.  These cost estimates were updated on a regular basis and were still subject to considerable uncertainties.

Decision

The Integration Joint Board –

1.    Noted the details provided in relation to Covid-19 response and associated mobilisation plan costing.

2.    Acknowledged the uncertainties in the cost elements submitted.

3.    Noted that the Scottish Government has in principle approved all mobilisation plans, but that approval for individual cost lines had not yet been received.
