Minutes:
The Board had before it a report by Martin Allan (Business Manager, ACHSCP) which presented the revised version of the ACHSCP strategic risk register and risk appetite statement.
The report recommended:-
That the Board-
(a) Note the revised risk appetite statement; and
(b) Note the revised risk register.
Martin Allan advised that the risk register and risk appetite statement had been reviewed following the risk workshop on 24 April 2018 and added that the Audit and Performance Systems Committee would treat the risk register as a living document by conducting deep dives of three separate risks at each Committee meeting. Mr Allan also asked the Board to provide a steer on its appetite for risks relating to commissioned and hosted services.
Thereafter there were questions and comments on (1) how frequently the register would be reported to the Board; (2) the importance of capturing risks relating to the Brexit transition process; (3) the need to develop a communication plan which would set out the Board’s approach towards risk management; and (4) Members discussed the risks associated with commissioned and hosted services and noted that this was a complex area and requested that a draft proposal be presented to the next meeting of the Audit and Performance Systems Committee for further discussion and development.
The Board resolved
(i) to endorse the revised risk appetite statement;
(ii) to endorse the revised risk register;
(iii) to instruct the Chief Officer to capture risks relating to the Brexit transition process within the Risk Register and to report this update to the Board’s next meeting;
(iv) to instruct the Business Manager to populate gaps within the Risk Appetite Statement relating to Commissioned and Hosted Services and report this to the next meeting of the Audit and Performance Systems Committee;
(v) to agree that the Audit and Performance Systems Committee would escalate a risk to the IJB if the Committee agreed that any risk rating within the Strategic Risk Register should be increased;
(vi) to instruct the Chief Officer to develop a communication plan which would inform service users and stakeholders of the Board’s approach towards risk management; and
(vii) to agree to review the Risk Register on an annual basis.
