Issue - meetings

The Committee resolved:-

(1)  to review, discuss and comment on the issues raised within this report, and

(2)  to note the creation of a Directions Planner and instruct the Chief Officer to present this to the Committee on 25 February 2020.

The Committee had before it a report presented by the Chief Internal Auditor which provided the outcome of the audit of Integration Joint Board (IJB) Directions as included in the 2018/19 IJB Internal Audit Plan.

The report recommended:

that the Committee review, discuss and comment on the issues raised within this report.

The Committee heard that this report would also be presented to the Aberdeen City Council Audit, Risk and Scrutiny Committee. A summary presentation indicated that whilst some Directions were clear, others lacked clarity and that there had been positive response to the audit recommendations.

The Committee were advised that the Directions process was still relatively new and that the audit had been most helpful to enhance already developing processes including creation of a Directions Planner.

The Committee resolved:-

(i)    to approve the recommendation, and

(ii)  to note the creation of a Directions Planner and instruct the Chief Officer to present this to the Committee on 25 February 2020.
