Professor
Davies thanked the Panel for the invitation ·
Well-being
Plan reflected where PSB was at the time – process largely dictated by scale
and legislation. May do things differently if setting up now ·
There
has been insufficient time for relationships with partners to be established ·
PSB
developed in a complex way with many organisations dealing with multiple PSBs
(e.g. NRW) ·
Current
governance review should simplify the structure ·
Looking
to align and streamline the work ·
Could
be more ambitious in relation to Early Years ·
Need
to look at timeframes and whether the work is ‘smart’. Look at clarity of
framework ·
Looking
at reviewing work streams and reviewing the leadership if this isn’t effective ·
Scrutiny
raises the profile of issues ·
Effective
governance requires effective scrutiny and leads to improved decision making ·
A
new structure could improve long term strategic aims and contribute to changes,
still early days ·
No
imminent plans for things to go regional ·
Accountability
difficult as the scrutiny of individual organisations is not easy ·
Making
multi-agency decisions is difficult ·
Financially
the input the PSB is minimal but accept the impact on officer time ·
Pooled
budgets may be a solution but should come after relationships and processes are
established ·
Processes
should be in the best interest of the Service User |
