Draft Rolling Work Programme 2024/2025
Report of the Assistant Chief Executive (Legal and Democratic Services)
1 PURPOSE OF REPORT
1.1 To seek comments on and approval to the draft Work Programme for 2024/2025.
2 BACKGROUND
2.1 The Work Programme is considered by the Board at each meeting. It tends to be presented without commentary. On this occasion, with it being the start of a new period for the Work Programme, effective from the next meeting in May 2024, I thought it might be helpful to outline the background/context so that Members can see how it is comprised.
2.2 The draft Work Programme for 2024/2025 is appended. It is based primarily on four aspects:-
a) Statutory documents that need to be considered
Examples include the North Yorkshire Joint Local Health and Wellbeing Strategy and the Better Care Fund which have to be signed off by the Board, according to its Terms of Reference.
b) Previous decisions of the Board
For example, last year the Board considered an update on Heath Protection and resolved that an update be provided every year.
c) Updates on key documents/consideration of key Strategies that will have an impact on the health and wellbeing of people in North Yorkshire
These could include the Carers Strategy and the Council’s Local Plan.
d) Convention
It has become the accepted practice that key Annual Reports are considered by the Board. For instance, those of the Director of Public Health and the North Yorkshire Safeguarding Adults Board.
2.3 The Work Programme is not set in tablets of stone – it evolves according to changed circumstances.
2.4 Members of the Board have the opportunity to suggest changes to the Work Programme at each meeting. In addition, it is considered at each Mid Cycle Briefing (attended by the Chair and Vice-Chair, the Corporate Director for Health and Adult Services, the Director of Public Health and Place Director for North Yorkshire), with any changes being contained in the next iteration which, as mentioned, is considered by the Board at every meeting.
2.5 The Board also, periodically, holds Workshops on matters of mutual interest to partners. These are held on the same day as meetings of the Board and are informal in nature. The last Workshop, concerning Community Development, was held on 21st July 2023.
2.6 A list of potential Workshops is set out at the end of the Work Programme. Any views that Members may have as to these, or any additional suggestions, would be welcomed.
3 LEGAL IMPLICATIONS
3.1 There are no legal implications other than the fact that there are certain policies/ documents that must be considered by the Board and it makes sense to map these out on a Work Programme.
4 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS
4.1 There may be financial implications in respect of some of the Items considered by the Board but, in terms of the Work Programme itself, there are none.
5 EQUALITIES IMPLICATIONS
5.1 There may be equalities implications in respect of some of the Items considered by the Board but, in terms of the Work Programme itself, there are none.
6 CLIMATE CHANGE IMPLICATIONS
6.1 There are no climate change implications.
7 CONCLUSIONS
7.1 The Work Programme is a useful document for Agenda planning purposes and Members have the opportunity to input into it at each meeting.
8 REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION
8.1 To enable the Board to be aware of the main items that are scheduled for consideration during the next year.
9 RECOMMENDATIONS
9.1 That the draft Work Programme for 2024/2025 be approved as it stands currently, but that it be noted it will evolve.
