Report of the Chamberlain.

The Committee considered a report of the Chamberlain which provided the quarterly updates for the Chamberlain’s Departmental Risk Register.

The Chamberlain provided Members with an update regarding Risk CL19 (IT Service Provision), which was rated as red. He explained that significant progress had been made in this area over the last 12 months, particularly with the integration of the Police IT Infrastructure. However, he noted that there were a number of key IT Projects which would be brought forward over the next year 12 months, particularly the desktop replacement project. He therefore explained that the target date to achieve a green risk in this area would now be revised to 31 December 2016.

A Member noted that the target date for achieving a green risk on CHB001 (Oracle ERP Delivery) had been 30 September 2015, and asked whether this had been achieved. The Chamberlain explained that the Oracle Project had been closed on that date and transitioned to business as usual.

Members noted that although this had been the case in management responsibility terms, as previously discussed, they remained concerned about the risks relating to the outstanding issues to be resolved. The Chamberlain assured Members that he remained personally responsible for the delivery of the Oracle Project, and expected that he would be able to report further progress on the completion of the Project at the December 2015 and January 2016 meetings of the Committee.

RESOLVED – That the Committee notes the report.
