The Board had before it the report from the Chief Officer, ACHSCP which presented the revised ACHSCP Integration Joint Board’s Scheme of Governance and comprised the documents attached at the appendices to the report, which had been amended as part of the annual review.

Members heard that a volume of changes had been made to the documents which were described for each document. Members commented that this would be better presented in ‘track change’ mode within each document.

Members were advised that there would likely be further review and amendment following application of Category One Responder status to Health and Social Care Partnerships by the Scottish Government.

The report recommended :-

that the Board note the content of the report.
