The Board resolved:-

The Chair extended a warm welcome to everyone.  She paid tribute to colleagues across Aberdeen Health and Social Care who had recently responded to adverse weather and flooding that had occurred which Police Scotland had declared as a major incident. She noted that the Grampian Local Resilience Partnership was activated and ACHSCP in its role as a Category 1 responder was at the heart of the response.  The Chair praised the many staff involved helping ensure that some of the most vulnerable residents stayed safe.  Furthermore, she advised that Multi Agency preparations for any further adverse weather events over winter were well under way and the Partnership was playing its role in these.  The Chair wished to place on record her thanks to all staff who were contributing and who would be on stand-by over the winter period to respond to any incidents and additionally to those working over the festive period.

The Chair reported that on 25 November 2022 the United Nations’ Global Annual 16 days of Activism campaign had started which sought to eliminate gender-based violence.  She noted Aberdeen’s Violence Against Women Partnership’s contribution to the campaign with a number of initiatives and events taking place.

Finally, the Chair acknowledged that this was John Tomlinson’s last meeting of the Aberdeen Integration Joint Board and that he had brought great experience and wise counsel to the Board and Risk, Audit and Performance Committee.  On behalf of all Members, the Chair expressed her thanks.
