Aberdeenshire

Activity / Timescale / Progress and commentary
Drafting of Integration Scheme / First draft for formal sharing to be ready by 1st October 2014. / A small group has met on a number of occasions to develop the first draft. The Integration scheme, which goes in front of the Parliament is deliberately broad in its approach and will be accompanied by a number of other documents which are not bound by the Parliament but can be appropriately modified by the IJB once formed. This allows for changes to be made without the documents going back before the Parliament.
Scope of services and functions / Beyond the NHS services being discussed through the Strategic Change Management Group (three Chief Officers and Director of Modernisation) the Council is thinking about the best mechanism to host Criminal Justice.
Recruitment of Chief Officer / Completed
Agreement on localities within IJB area / It is proposed that against the Regulation we will utilise the six administrative areas of Aberdeenshire. There is, however, considerable work about building capacity around natural communities and thought about how these are brought together within the area. We are working closely with the Council Area Managers who have great expertise in this approach.
Development of Strategic Planning Group / April 2015 / A shadow Group is in place and has initiated work. Initial discussions with NHSG Modernisation, Health Intelligence and Public Health is underway to ensure appropriate corporate support is available for the production of such a crucially important document.
Shadow arrangements/transition toward fully operational as IJB / April 2015 / The TLG is working productively in both its own development to be a high performing Board and also on the business which it will oversee.
All requirements in place and fully operational as IJB / April 2015 / Our proposed timescale is to become, by Parliamentary agreement of our Integration Scheme, a formal IJB in April 2015. We will then aim to have our Strategic Plan in place by late summer/ autumn of 2015 giving the IJB about six months to get fully up to speed.
