The minute of meeting of the Performance and Audit Committee held on 14th March, 2017 was submitted and noted for information and record purposes, a copy of which is attached to this minute as an appendix.
(b) SUMMARY OVERVIEW OF MEETING OF 14TH MARCH, 2017
There was submitted Report No DIJB18-2017 by Doug Cross, Chair of the Performance and Audit Committee providing a summary overview of the meeting of the Performance and Audit Committee held on 14th March, 2017 as follows:-
Delegated Decisions taken by the Committee
There were no delegated decisions taken by the Committee at its meeting on 14th March 2017.
Performance Against Workplan
- This was the second meeting of the Performance and Audit Committee. The Committee considered the 2016/17 Annual Audit Plan prepared by Audit Scotland, the planned approach to producing the 2016/17 Health and Social Care Partnership Annual Performance Report and an update on progress towards submitting a complete data set to the Scottish Government to inform strategic planning and performance improvement within the health and social care partnerships. In addition, the Committee also noted the outcome of the visit by the Mental Welfare Commission to Kingsway Care Centre.
Any Other Major Issues to highlight to the Integration Joint Board
- The assigned external auditor for 2016/17 was Audit Scotland. Public audit contributed to conclusions on appropriateness, effectiveness and impact of corporate governance, performance management arrangements and financial sustainability. The annual audit fee set for Dundee Integration Joint Board in 2016/17 was £17,400. A number of main risks had been identified in relation to the Integration Joint Board. These included wider dimension risks associated with:
- Financial sustainability
- Governance and assurance arrangements
- Corporate support
- Transparency
- Integration Authorities must prepare an annual performance report for each reporting year. This should be published within four months of the end of the financial year (by 31st July, 2017). Advice was being sought from the Scottish Government to establish whether an advanced draft could be submitted for 31st July with the final report submitted after approval at the IJBs meeting on 29th August, 2017. Such an arrangement was not uncommon to fit in with Board/Council meeting timetables over summer. In future years, there would be a requirement to provide a comparison between the reporting year and the preceding five reporting years. The production of the annual performance report would be led by the Performance and Audit Co‑ordinating Group. The Committee were assured that satisfactory progress had been made with developing the planning arrangements to preparing the report.
- National Services for Scotland, Information Services Division (NSS ISD) had been commissioned by the Scottish Government to work in partnership with NHS Boards, Local Authorities and Integration Joint Boards to develop core data to inform strategic planning and performance improvement across the health and social care spectrum. This was referred to as the SOURCE project. The social care dataset was split into 10 sections with an optional 11th section on homelessness. Dundee Integration Joint Board (along with three other Partnerships) had submitted data for nine sections and were working to overcome the complexities around definition and limited data on the remaining section which covered Respite. Only one Partnership had submitted data for all 10 sections. The Committee were pleased to note the commitment of the team in participating fully in the SOURCE project.
- The Committee were pleased to note the outcome from the Mental Welfare Commissions recent visit to Kingsway Care Centre. This was a follow up visit from a previous one in 2014 where a number of recommendations were made. The report was a positive one with only two recommendations made this time. The first related to displaying information about the locked door policy was quickly addressed while the second relates to carrying out an environment assessment and carrying out any necessary refurbishment work as soon as practical. It was noted Kingsway Care Centre was not purpose built for its current use and was not owned by NHS Tayside. Consultation with partners would therefore be required to determine how best to address this recommendation. The Committee recorded their appreciation for the contribution and diligence of staff in achieving the best outcomes for the patients of Kingsway Care Centre and their relatives.
The Integration Joint Board agreed to note the content of the Summary Overview Report.
