1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 
1.1 The schedule of meetings for the Integration Joint Board (IJB) and Performance and
Audit Committee (PAC) is required for the forthcoming year. 
2. BACKGROUND 
2.1 The IJB in agreed in September 2021 to reduce to 8 meetings during 2022 to avoid
the council recess periods and the period of purdah during the local government
elections in May 2022.   
3. PROPOSALS 
3.1 IJB
The number of IJB meetings for 2023 was reinstated to 9 meetings per year, with ad
hoc private sessions arranged as and when required.   The 2024 dates followed that
same frequency, however the number of meetings in 2025 has been reduced to 7 to
align with budget reporting timetables. 
3.2 Performance and Audit Committee
The Performance and Audit Committee will continue to meet on a quarterly basis.

3.3 Strategic Planning Group
In 2025, it is proposed that the Strategic Planning Group meetings take place
quarterly, reducing to 4 meetings per year.    SPG members recently completed a
survey on their views on the frequency, venues, membership and hybrid capabilities. 
The results from this survey are currently being analysed and will be published in due
course.     
3.4 As in previous years, the timing of all meetings has taken budget reporting and
performance schedules into consideration and the timetable has been created to avoid
clashes with key NHS and Council meetings, avoiding some recess periods of the
Council. 
3.5 The proposed dates for IJB, SPG and PAC meetings are detailed below.   The
schedule of meetings is attached in Appendix 1.
