Issue - meetings

The Board resolved:-

to note the Chair’s remarks.

The Chair extended a warm welcome to everyone.  She acknowledged that it had been a particularly busy time for colleagues across health and social care services as residents’ needs became increasingly complex.  The Chair expressed her thanks on behalf of the IJB to all staff who were working incredibly hard to meet the needs of the most vulnerable people in Aberdeen city. She noted that staff across the partnership were offering innovative solutions to help meet demand and that tests of change were being used to seek to put services on a sustainable footing; some of which were already showing promising results.

The Chair noted the demanding environment and remarked that reports on the agenda today would address some of the ways that ACHSCP was planning to meet demand both in the short term and longer term, aiming to create a much more sustainable system for the future.
