VARIATIONS TO DIRECTIONS? This section outlines if the report requires a direction to be issued to the Local Authority, the Health Board, to both, or that no direction is required 5. BACKGROUND 5.1 The Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA) Framework suggests that committees involved in scrutiny and internal control should periodically conduct a self-assessment of their effectiveness and operation. The aim is to involve members in close consideration of the role of the committee and its members, its administrative arrangements and the context in which it operates. 5.2 A questionnaire has been developed and is based on examples used in other public bodies. The draft questionnaire is attached at Appendix 1. 5.3 It is proposed that the finalised questionnaire will be circulated to Board members electronically for completion. The results will be anonymous and will be summarised and reported to the September meeting of the Integration Joint Board. 9.1 NATIONAL OUTCOMES Link(s) to National Health and Wellbeing Outcomes People are able to look after and improve their own health and wellbeing and live in good health for longer ☐ People, including those with disabilities or long-term conditions, or who are frail, are able to live, as far as reasonable practicable, independently and at home or in a homely setting in their community ☐ People who use Health and Social Care Services have positive experiences of those services, and have dignity respected ☐ Yes ☐ No ☐ N/A ☒
