Report by: Head of Strategy and Transformation, West Dunbartonshire Health
and Social Care Partnership (HSCP)
Committee Date: 20 December 2023
Subject: West Dunbartonshire HSCP Annual Performance Report 2022/23
1. Purpose
1.1 The purpose of the Annual Performance Report is to provide an overview of the
HSCPs performance in planning and carrying out integrated functions. The
Annual Performance Report is produced for the benefit of Partnerships and their
communities. This report also includes a complaints management overview for
the year 2022/23.
2. Recommendations
It is recommended that West Dunbartonshire Council:
2.1 Note the West Dunbartonshire HSCP Annual Performance Report 2022/23 and
the Annual Complaints Report 2022/23.
3. Background
3.1 The Public Bodies (Joint Working) (Scotland) Act 2014 ("the 2014 Act")
established the legislative framework for the integration of health and social care
services in Scotland under either an Integration Joint Board (IJB) or Lead Agency
model.
3.2 Section 42 of the 2014 Act requires that Performance Reports are prepared by
the "Integration Authority". This term broadly means the person or body which is
responsible for the planning and direction of integrated health and social care
services. Section 42 of the 2014 Act covers both the Integration Joint Board and
Lead Agency model.
3.3 To ensure that performance is open and accountable, the 2014 Act obliges
Partnerships to publish an annual performance report setting out an assessment
of performance in planning and carrying out the integration functions for which
they are responsible.
3.4 The 2014 Act requires Integration Joint Boards to publish an Annual
Performance Report within four months of the end of each reporting year.
3.5 The required content of the performance reports is set out in The Public Bodies
(Joint Working) (Content of Performance Reports) (Scotland) Regulations 2014.
These requirements are adhered to within the 2022/23 Annual Performance
Report.
