Minutes:
The Committee considered proposals from the CCG to establish an interim Cheshire Clinical Commissioning Group Place Committee (Cheshire East) in preparation for the abolition of the Cheshire CCG and the transfer of its functions, assets and liabilities to the Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care Board on 1st April 2022. The terms of reference for the new Committee included a proposed membership of at least three nominated representatives from Cheshire East Council. The Committee would have decision-making powers.
It was recommended that the following members be nominated as the Council’s representatives on the new Committee:
Councillor S Corcoran, Chair of the Health and Wellbeing Committee
Councillor K Flavell, Chair of the Children and Families Committee
Councillor J Rhodes, Chair of the Adults and Health Committee
It was noted that Councillor J Clowes had been a non-voting member of the Health and Wellbeing Board and that it would be helpful if the CCG would agree to Councillor Clowes becoming a non-voting member of the new body. The Chair said that he would raise the matter with the CCG.
It was also considered timely for the Committee to reaffirm a commitment to the Joint Scrutiny Committee Protocol previously adopted in May 2014.
At the invitation of the Chair, Councillor J Saunders spoke on this matter as a visiting member.
RESOLVED
That the Committee
1. nominates the following councillors as its representatives on the NHS Cheshire CCG Place Committee (Cheshire East) for the period November 2021 to March 2022:
Councillor S Corcoran, Chair of the Health and Wellbeing Committee
Councillor K Flavell, Chair of the Children and Families Committee
Councillor J Rhodes, Chair of the Adults and Health Committee
2. affirms the adoption of the joint scrutiny committee protocol of 2014; and
3. notes scrutiny committees’ terms of reference in the Health and Social Care Act 2006 and delegates the appointment of members to external scrutiny functions to the Scrutiny Committee, which may invite any member with the appropriate knowledge of health and social care, having regard to political proportionality.
