1 PURPOSE EAST AYRSHIRE HEALTH AND SOCIAL CARE PARTNERSHIP INTEGRATION JOINT BOARD: 2 APRIL 2015 MEMBERSHIP OF THE INTEGRATION JOINT BOARD Report by Director of Health and Social Care 1. The purpose of this report is to consider the membership of the Integration Joint Board BACKGROUND 2. The Public Bodies Joint Working (Scotland) Act 2014 and associated regulations set out the arrangements for the membership of the Integration Joint Board. As a minimum this must comprise voting members nominated from the NHS Board and Council (the Parties); non-voting members who are holders of key posts with the Parties or Integration Joint Board; and representatives of groups who have an interest in the Integration Joint Board. There is flexibility to appoint additional members in certain circumstances. 3. The East Ayrshire Transition Integration Board meeting of 24 February 2014 approved the proposals for the non voting stakeholder and professional representation on the Shadow Integration Board. 4. There is provision to identify proxy, or deputy, members for both the voting and non voting membership to ensure that business may not be disrupted by lack of attendance by any individual. A deputy member for a voting member may vote but may not preside over the meeting. 5. Councils must nominate councillors as voting members. The NHS Board should nominate non-executive directors. Where this is not possible, there is scope to appoint appropriate persons as agreed by the Scottish Ministers, but at least two nonexecutive directors must be nominated. 6. The arrangements for the Chair and Vice Chair, who are drawn from the nominations of the Parties, are set out in clause 2.4 of the Integration Scheme and have been identified and were the subject of a report to the final Shadow Integration Board on 26 March The membership of the Shadow Integration Board reflected most of the prescribed membership for the Integration Joint Board. However, some additions are required for the Integration Joint Board in accordance with the finalised guidance set out in the Public Bodies (Joint Working) (Integration Joint Boards)(Scotland) Order 2014 (SSI number 285). VOTING MEMBERSHIP 8. The Integration Scheme sets out that, locally, the Parties will each nominate four voting members. Appendix 1 Section A, details the four councillors nominated by Council and the NHS Board members the NHS Board will be invited to confirm at its meeting on 30 March To ensure continuity of membership and the development of expertise in the functions of the Integration Joint Board, named deputy members are being identified by the Parties. Until the NHS Board has its full complement of Non

2 Executive Directors, it will use its best endeavours to arrange for a suitably experienced member to attend a meeting in place of an absent voting member where the statutory minimum NHS voting membership is not met. This will be undertaken on a case by case basis. The Integration Joint Board is asked to note these appointments NON-VOTING MEMBERSHIP PROFESSIONAL ADVISORS 9. The professional advisors are non-voting members. These are identified as: the Chief Social Work Officer; the Chief Officer of the Integration Joint Board; the Section 95 Officer of the Integration Joint Board (Chief Finance Officer); a Public Health consultant, a General Medical Practitioner; a registered nurse either employed by the NHS Board or a general medical practitioner; and a medical practitioner who is not a GP. The latter three postholders are on the nomination of the NHS Board. 10. A process is in place to identify the General Practitioner representative and until this concludes, interim arrangements have been put in place. 11. Dependent on their role, not all of these postholders may have deputies but where necessary they will make arrangements to be represented in their absence. 12. The Integration Joint Board is asked to note the professional advisor members detailed at Appendix 1 Section B. NON-VOTING MEMBERSHIP STAKEHOLDER MEMBERS 13.
