Members welcomed Alan Bell - Head of Information Governance and Data Protection Officer, NHS Grampian, to the meeting. 

The Committee had before it an Internal Audit report prepared by the Chief Internal Auditor regarding IJB Data Sharing, which presented the outcome from the planned audit of the IJB Data Sharing that was included in the Internal Audit Plan for Aberdeen City Integration Joint Board.

The Chief Internal Auditor explained that the objective was to ensure that the IJB had appropriate assurance over the arrangements and procedures for data sharing within its partners.  He reported that Aberdeen City, Aberdeenshire and Moray Councils had completed their data sharing reviews, however NHS Grampian and its auditors had not been able to facilitate the work due to commitments of the Information Commissioner’s recent review.  Nevertheless, it was still the intention to provide an overarching executive summary to be presented to Committee on completion.

Members heard from the Head of Information Governance who responded to questions from Members and undertook to bring a position summary back to RAPC once the Information Commissioner’s review was complete.

The report recommended:-

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

The Committee resolved:-

to note the information provided.
