Issue - meetings

A presentation will be made by Jackie Barry-Purssell of the Audit Commission.

The Board received an overview from the Emerging Issues Feedback from the Audit Commission on the recent Comprehensive Area Assessment and how the Partnership had been assessed.

It was noted that the document highlighted Mortality as an area where further information would be sought. The Director of Public Health noted that the Local Area Agreement (LAA) referred to standardised mortality ratios and that a briefing for the Audit Commission could be provided on this and there was agreement that this would be useful.

In response to a query as to when the outcome of the recent Care Quality Commission inspection of Adult Services would be available the Board was advised that this was due within the next three weeks; the Board would be advised of the exact date when the minutes were circulated.

RESOLVED:

That the feedback provided be noted.
