MINUTE OF INTEGRATION JOINT BOARD AND ACTION NOTES PDF 91 KB Integration Joint Board held on 25 September 2019 Additional documents: Minutes: The Minutes of the meeting of the Integration Joint Board held on 25 September 2019 were approved as a correct record subject to amending the wording of the preamble at item 5.1 to read the following – The Interim NHS
Highland Chair provided the Board with a verbal update on the Culture Fit for
the Future programme and the outcome of the discussion at the Board meeting
held in Inverness on 24 September 2019. He advised that there would be a paper
at the November meeting giving an update on progress against the revised action
plan and that they were aiming to produce a more comprehensive action plan
drawing on feedback from engagement sessions and a 2 day strategy workshop. He
reported that employee engagement sessions had begun and that there were more
still to take place. An issue that had arisen was that people in remote parts
of the area were not able to participate in the sessions and it was planned to
develop dedicated video conferencing sessions to address this. He intimated
that a summary of issues raised would be produced and would feed into the
action plan to be produced in October. In terms of the Sturrock report, he advised that not all members of staff
had felt the need to read the full report and, therefore, it was proposed to
provide a brief summary version of the report. In regard to the Argyll and Bute
review, the Interim NHS Highland Chair reported that the Board had agreed to
proceed with the review and that it would go out to tender and be published on
the Scottish Government Portal. He advised that it would take 12 weeks to carry
out the review and report back with a final completion date of March 2020. The Interim Chair
reported that Fiona Hogg, Director of HR&OD would be the Senior Responsible
Officer (SRO) for the Culture Fit for the Future programme and that a Programme
Manager would be appointed in due course. The position would be advertised both
internally and externally. The Board would also be seeking an external,
independent advisor who would have a similar status to a non-executive director
and would have specific responsibility to oversee the development of the
Programme. The external advisor would chair the Culture Steering Group and
report directly to the Board. The Chair referred to the action
log and advised that the detail requested in action ID 27 had not
been included as part of the papers but would be discussed under the finance
section of the agenda. |

The Chair welcomed the new Head of Service, Caroline Cherry, to her first meeting of the Board. The Chair welcomed the attendance of Dr Nicola Schinaia, Associate Director of Public Health at the meeting. The Chair expressed thanks on behalf of the Board to members who had stood up into roles during the transition period including Liz Higgins, Stephen Whiston, Judy Orr and George Morrison. He thanked them for their support to the Board. Elizabeth Rhodick, community representative, raised a concern with the Board over early morning and late evening appointments at hospitals in Glasgow for patients from Argyll and Bute. She advised that this raised an issue with health and safety due to the expectation of patients to travel late at night and very early in the morning during the winter months. Discussion amongst the Board resumed and it was noted that hospitals were generally amenable to changing appointments when requested to do so. It was noted however that not all patients were aware of the ability to do this. The Chair requested that this issue be picked up by officers where required. The Chair thanked everyone present for their attendance. |
