Minutes:
The
committee considered the latest Programme Highlight Report which was to be
considered by the Shadow Executive Committee on 17 September 2018. The report provided information on the
progress that had been made across phase 2.
The Programme Director highlighted key points from the report including:
·
There were now around 30 people working in the programme team and
focused entirely on phase 2. In addition
around 200 people across the councils were involved in work to move forward
implementation plans
·
The Programme Board now included all current tier 2 directors or
equivalent
·
A current area under review was plans for phase 3 due to the loss of a
programme manager in this area
·
The format of the Programme Milestone Plan had been updated at the
request of the committee
·
The work stream reports described the key activities in each area
In
response to a question the Programme Director noted that it was a challenge for
the Shadow Executive Committee to consider the level of engagement with members
with regard to transformation, within the timeframe available. Work around setting a legal budget would need
to take precedence.
A
discussion was held with regard to the resources available to the Programme
Team and in response the Programme Director reiterated the point that he had
made at the previous meeting, that he trusted that the team had the resources
available in order to deliver the programme.
Additional resource may be required as work progressed but he felt
confident that this would be addressed as required. He thanked members for their support but
indicated that he did not require any action from the committee at this stage.
Members
discussed the issues arising from the report and in particular comments were
raised with regard to the way risks were recorded in the report, the transfer
of social services data between councils and information that would be made available
to the committee with regard to the gateway process to be undertaken. The Programme Director confirmed that
comprehensive information would continue to be supplied to the committee.
