Report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services.

Members considered a report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services.

This paper presents updated Terms of Reference for the City of London Corporation

Integrated Commissioning Sub-Committee which forms part of the governance

arrangements for integrated commissioning.

The City of London Integrated Commissioning Board (ICB) provides the political

decision-making for integrated commissioning in the City of London and consists of

the Integrated Commissioning Sub-Committee of the Community and Children’s

Services Committee and a committee of City and Hackney Clinical Commissioning

Group (CCG) Governing Body. These two committees meet at the same time to

make decisions on the same issues – known as meeting as ‘committees in common’.

In the future these meetings with also include representatives from the London

Borough of Hackney who will be making their own decisions with the CCG as

committees in common.

The Terms of Reference have been updated to reflect that the ICB meeting will now

consist of three parties rather than the previous two. Although these three parties will meet at the same time, the City of London Corporation Integrated Commissioning Sub-Committee and the CCG will still make any decisions in relation to commissioning for health and social care in the City of London.

The Terms of Reference also reflect that three Members have to be present for the

Integrated Commissioning Sub-Committee to be quorate and that appointed

deputies can attend the meetings in order to ensure quoracy.

RESOLVED – That Members agreed the updated Terms of Reference for the Integrated Commissioning Sub-Committee.
