Report by Chief Officer of the Integrated Joint Board

The Committee considered the report which had been received from the Integrated Joint Board of the Health and Social Care Partnership. Having noted that the information contained in the report was not specifically relevant to the Committee, the Chair asked the Locality Manager to provide an update in relation to the Locality Planning Groups for the MAKI area.  He advised that there were 3 groups within the locality; Islay and Jura; Mid Argyll and Kintyre.  He advised that they had been meeting on a fairly regular basis since Feburary 2016, with good representation from local partners.  Mr Dreghorn advised that the main work carried out was on the development of local plans specific to the three areas.  He advised that the plans were now in draft form and would be presented to the Integrated Joint Board for scrutiny in December 2016.  Discussion also took place in respect of the closure of Auchinlee Care Home in Campbeltown.  Mr Dreghorn advised that he would feedback the comments of Members to the Health and Social Care Partnership.

Decision;

Members agreed:

1.    to note the update provided by Mr Dreghorn; and

2.    requested that a report be brought to a future Area Committee meeting when the final outcome on the possible closure of Auchinlee Care Home was known.
