Integration Joint Boards (IJBs) are separate legal entities from both the NHS and the Council. IJBs are the main decision-making body for the HSCP and have a legal duty to include key stakeholders in its decision-making processes.
Legislation sets out how the IJB must operate, including the formation of its membership. The membership of the IJB has two categories: voting and non-voting. Voting members represent the NHS and Council whilst non-voting members are a prescribed list of key stakeholders that should be involved in the planning and decision-making. The non-voting membership can also be extended to include additional local stakeholders if required. In Renfrewshire we have extended our membership to include representation from our local Trade Union and staffside colleagues.
The IJB meets regularly throughout the year. A copy of the schedule of meeting dates, agenda, minutes, supporting papers and recent previous meetings are available in the link below:
