Partnesrhip Executive

Introduction to…The Partnership Executive.

A regular meeting of Senior Council and Health managers exists so that decisions can be made by people who can decide how money is spent on services. It is called the Partnership Executive. The Partnership Executive meets every 3 months and it has 13 members:

• 5 Primary Care Trust Representatives
• 5 Local Authority Representatives
• The Head of Learning Disability Services
• A representative from Mental Health Trust
• The Independent Chair of the Partnership Board

The recommendations and ideas are taken from the Partnership Board to the Partnership Executive by the Head of Learning Disability Services and the Joint Commissioning Service. The Independent Chair of the Partnership Board is there to ensure the Partnership Boards views are appropriately represented, and to provide Board Members with a record of what is discussed.

On the Partnership Executive the only two people who actually have voting powers are the Director of Social Services or her representative and The Chief Executive of Leeds North East PCT or her representative.

It is hoped that an accessible record of Partnership Executive meetings will be available on the Through the Maze website from April. We will also include important points here in the Partnership Board news.
