The Board had before it a report by Kevin Toshney, Planning and Development Manager ACHSCP, which presented the draft Strategic Plan 2019-2022 and sought approval for public consultation to be undertaken on the Plan.

The report recommended:-

that the Board –

(a)      note the draft Strategic Plan 2019-2022;

(b)      agree that there should be a public consultation on the plan during the period 7 January to 28 February 2019;

(c)       agree that the most current version of the Aberdeen City Health and Social Care Partnership Strategic Plan be presented to the IJB at its budget meeting; and

(d)      agree that the revised ACHSCP Strategic Plan be presented to the IJB at its meeting of 26 March 2019 for final agreement, and note that the IJB would be advised when the accompanying Implementation Plan would be presented to the Audit and Performance Systems Committee.

Mr Toshney proposed a small amendment to the wording of recommendation (b) above, as follows:-

(b)       to instruct the Chief Officer to conduct a public consultation on the draft Strategic Plan 2019 – 2022 during the period 7 January to 28 February 2019.

Thereafter, there were questions and comments in relation to the report.  Members noted that the plan was relatively high-level and therefore officers would require to ensure that it was accessible to all in terms of the consultation.  In response to comments on how there would be a demonstration of measuring achievement and commitment to improvements, Mr Toshney advised that there would be reframing of the plan to ensure that there was focus on priorities and commitments.

The Board resolved:-

(i)        to note that the plan required to be accessible to all; and

(ii)       to approve the recommendations, including the proposed amendment to recommendation (b) set out above.
