To provide the Board with the programme of work for the Chorley Public Service Reform Board for 2014/15, including the outline business cases for each workstream and the annual work programme for approval.

Sarah James presented the programme of work for the Chorley Public Service Reform Board for 2014/15.  Following the last meeting, all partners have been approached to commit to relevant work streams. There has been a good response from all partners, who have nominated officers within their organisations for the relevant workstreams.

Members of the Board were asked to approve the work programme so that work could begin on delivery after the meeting.

Sarah James asked for partners to lead on each of the work streams, Lancashire Constabulary agreed to lead on the intelligence led services and sharing intelligence.  Any partners who would like to offer to lead on any of the other workstreams should contact Sarah James.

RESOLVED:

1.    That the programme of work be approved and delivery would begin.

2.    That the integrated assets workstream would include a measure about limitations of use.

For discussion by the Board on the resourcing of the 2014/15 workplan.

Chris Sinnott presented the Resourcing and Capacity report which outlined the proposed programme office to deliver the workplan.  It is proposed that this programme office will be financed by contributions from partners in 2014/15 and an application to the transformation challenge fund had been made for 2015/16.

Discussions have already been made with some of the larger public sector partners, and Chorley Council, Lancashire Care NHS Foundation Trust and Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust are all willing to contribute.  Chorley and South Ribble CCG are currently waiting on a response from GPs.  If other partner organisations would like to contribute they should contact Sarah James.

Reports on progress would be brought to each Board meeting; starting with the next meeting which would include the progress of setting up the project office for these workstreams.

Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service have published their draft Community Safety Strategy 2014–17. The new strategy incorporates the Start Safe, Live Safe and Age Safe concept.

Partners are encouraged to submit their views as the strategy will help to shape the work of Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service over the next four years.

The next meeting will be held on Tuesday 9 September 2014.

The next meeting of the Chorley Public Service Reform Board will take place on Tuesday 9 September 2014 at 4pm.
