To consider a report of the Leader of the Council and Joint Chair of Trafford One System Board, Executive Member for Adult Social Care and Executive Member for Health, Wellbeing and Equalities.

Minutes:

The Leader of the Council and Joint Chair of Trafford One System Board, Executive Member for Adult Social Care and Executive Member for Health, Wellbeing and Equalities submitted a report which gave details of the proposed governance arrangements for the Trafford One System Board for both shadow arrangements and beyond March 2022, in relation to the formal introduction (pending legislation) of Integrated Care Systems. The report outlined the various governance options for the One System Board for shadow operation from October 2021 and formal implementation in April 2022, and articulated the option as agreed in principle by the One System Board. It was noted that the situation was developing rapidly, and that there was therefore a commitment to bringing regular updates to the Executive on related system governance issues and plans, as legislation materialised and enhanced clarity on the GM ICS operating model and therefore locality operating model.

 

In discussion the current lack of definitive clarity was noted, and the importance of effective scrutiny of developing proposals at Greater Manchester level. It was acknowledged that further information was awaited from Government. The Executive Member for Health, Wellbeing and Equalities advised that she was happy to discuss Members’ concerns further; and the Leader emphasised and agreed the priority of effective local oversight and scrutiny, to ensure that the system developed in the interests of Trafford residents.

 

            RESOLVED -

 

(1)       That the setting up of a joint committee (formally from April 2022 and in Shadow form from October 2021) be agreed in principle.

 

(2)       That the proposed arrangements operate in shadow form from October 2021 with accountability and decision making remaining with individual statutory organisations.

 

(3)       That the suggested locality board functions be agreed, noting that clarity on the finer detail is still to be fully determined.

 

(4)       That the proposed revised membership from October 2021 be agreed.

 

(5)       That the arrangements for the appointment of a chair to the proposed shadow joint committee, as set out in the report, be noted.

 

(6)       That it be noted that the details relating to the terms of reference, delegations, voting and quoracy of the joint committee will be brought back to the Executive for further consideration at a later date.
