GOVERNANCE REVIEW

    • Share this item

    To agree terms of reference for a review of partnership arrangements for the health and wellbeing board.

    Supporting documents:

    Minutes:

    This item had not been circulated 5 clear days in advance of the meeting, the chair agreed to accept the item as urgent as the review was being proposed within the context of increasing expectations of the role of the board within the national health and care system landscape at varying levels of health and social care policy.  The outcome of the review was likely to have implications for the future partnership and governance arrangements for the board and local partnership infrastructure as a whole.  As part of the review process it was intended that a further report be brought to the first meeting of the board of the new municipal year.  This further report would underpin the decision making and governance arrangements going forward.  It was therefore essential that the review is underway as soon as possible to enable the review findings and conclusions to be reported to the board’s first meeting of the new municipal year.

     

     

    Kerry Crichlow, Director of Strategy and Commissioning introduced the report. 

     

    RESOLVED:

     

    That the terms of reference for a review of partnership arrangements for the health and wellbeing board, detailed in paragraph 17 of the report and set out below be agreed.

     

    -  To assess current partnership arrangements within the context of current and anticipated requirements on health and wellbeing

     

    -   To examine the totality of the local partnership infrastructure and identify strengths and opportunities, duplication, and where the local partnership structure needs clarity or would benefit from change

     

    -  To test current arrangements against best practice governance modes to identify what it may mean for future arrangements in particular reporting, processes and delegated authority including relevant links to local health scrutiny responsibilities as appropriate.
