Minutes:
The Board gave consideration to a report requesting the approval of the updated Strategic Planning Group Terms of Reference as recommended by the group, update to the general provisions on reporting to the IJB and a request to nominate new chair/vice chair of the Finance and Policy Committee.
Third Sector
representative member Kirsteen Murray welcomed the updated SPG terms of
reference strengthening the role of the Strategic Planning Group and more in
line with its role in legislation. Practically this will include reviewing
detailed business cases, change plans on behalf of IJB and
responsibilities in terms of developing commissioning strategy and the
strategic plan.
The member requested
clarity on the relationship between the SPG role and the current oversight of
the Transformation Board by the Finance and Policy Committee which has
oversight of transformation board and plan, in practical terms how did officers
see that working?
Officers responded that the
Strategic Planning Group ensures the delivery and development of the Strategic
Plan and the Transformation Board manages implementation of planned work.
Finance and Policy Committee have oversight of any progress of work and impact
of policy and financial implications.
The Strategic Planning
Group reports to and advises the IJB directly.
There are no delegated
powers for decision-making to either the Strategic Planning Group or Finance
and Policy Committee and each would provide information to the IJB on
recommendation for decision.
Going into the next year
committees and groups will be asked to have workplans
and if agreed by the IJB to report on such annually. As all terms of reference
have now been reviewed and areas of business clarified so this should avoid
duplication.
Some areas of activity
are cross cutting and this will be managed through the IJB and committee
planner.
The terms of reference
of the Transformation Board are also currently being reviewed.
The paper formalised overall
reporting to the IJB with each governance group fulfilling specific tasks and
strengthening governance.
