The report recommended:-

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

In response to a question relating to whether there was an increased risk due to different systems being used within the partnership of ACC and NHS Grampian and whether there were additional challenges for officers and Internal Audit to monitor the systems, the Chief Internal Auditor advised that there was an increased risk however reliance was put on both systems.  The Chief Operating Officer advised that they were looking at how the different systems operated to learn best practice which would be shared with Aberdeenshire and Moray IJB’s.
