The Committee resolved:-

The Committee had before it a report by the Interim Chief Officer – Governance (Legal) which sought to update the Committee on any changes to the Joint Health Protection.

The report noted that the Public Health etc. (Scotland) Act 2008 (“the 2008 Act”) placed a duty on health boards and local authorities, in carrying out their functions under the 2008 Act, to co-operate with any relevant person (e.g. health board, special health board, local authority, integration joint board, common services agency, Healthcare Improvement Scotland and Scottish Ministers) who appeared to have an interest in or a function relating to the protection of public health and produce a Local Health Protection Plan. 

The report recommended:-

that the Committee –

(a)          note the updates and achievements in relation to the Grampian Joint Health Protection Plan (“the Plan”); and

(b)          note that the Plan will be reviewed again in 2026.

The Committee resolved:-

to approve the recommendations.
