Issue - meetings

The Board considered a report which presented the topic brief for the Health Policy and Performance Board’s 2025-26 scrutiny review.

It was noted that at the February meeting it was agreed that ‘Mental Health Support’ would be the focus of the 2025-26 scrutiny review.  Appendix 1 set out the remit and areas of focus that would be considered as part of the Scrutiny Review.

It was confirmed that the first meeting of the topic group would take place in July and thereafter on a monthly basis.  Members would be presented with information regarding the areas covered in the Topic Brief to scrutinise service delivery, emerging issues and opportunities in order to develop a set of recommendations for a report, which would be presented to the Board in February 2026.  The Chair invited all Members of the Board to participate.

RESOLVED:  That

1)    the report be noted; and

2)    the Board approves the topic brief as outlined in Appendix 1.
