4.  VARIATIONS TO DIRECTIONS? 
5. BACKGROUND/SUMMARY OF KEY ISSUES  
This report seeks approval from the North Lanarkshire IJB to delegate authority
to the Chief Officer of North Lanarkshire HSCP to publish a draft version of the
Annual Performance Report on the HSCP website by 31 July, ensuring
compliance with statutory requirements. The final version of the report will be
presented to the IJB for approval at its next meeting in September 2025. 
Under the Public Bodies (Joint Working) (Scotland) Regulations 2014, the
Annual Performance Report must be published by 31 July each year. However,
the necessary performance data is only made available by Public Health
Scotland (PHS) in early July, leaving limited time for the report to be finalised.
Given this constraint, delegating authority to the Chief Officer ensures timely
publication while allowing for further refinement before formal approval in
September. 
6. CONCLUSIONS 
It is recommended that the North Lanarkshire IJB approves the proposal,
ensuring statutory compliance while allowing sufficient time for final revisions.
The IJB is asked to: 
1. Agree to delegate authority to the Chief Officer of North Lanarkshire HSCP to
publish the draft version of the Annual Performance Report on the HSCP
website by 31 July.
2. Agree to receive the finalised report at the next IJB meeting in September 2025,
for approval.
