The following agenda items were agreed for the next meeting:
The Board agreed that future reports should more clearly define what was being asked of the Board in the recommendations and to ensure that a covering report was included in the agenda pack.
Cllr Morton observed that keeping future agendas tight and to as few agenda items as possible in order to review those items in detail seemed to work well and also agreed that focusing items on the ambitions in the Health and Wellbeing Strategy was useful. Cllr Morton suggested that the issue was maintaining the correct balance between accountability and policy making.
The Deputy Chief Executive commented that there were a number of areas were the Board had to make a decision due to the powers vested in it, such as approving the Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment. The Deputy Chief Executive suggested that the discussion items on future agendas should focus on what the barriers were to the system delivering the changes required. Sir Paul Ennals endorsed this approach.
The Board agreed to keep the main format of future meetings to one or two strategic discussions, based on the ambitions of the HWB Strategy. The Board also agreed with tightening agendas and keeping the amount of time dedicated to presentations shorter in order to facilitate more discussion time.
