Report of the Partnerships Director

The Partnerships Director submitted a report (previously circulated) to inform the members about the work of the Public Sector Executive Group (PSEG).

It was reported that the PSEG was formed as one of the arrangements to replace the Darlington Partnership, following agreement by Council on 15 July; that the group included senior officers from key public sector bodies; and the key aims, and membership of the group was outlined.

Details were provided of recent activity of the group, including the announcement of the change in administration at the Council and that a new Council Plan is in development. It is expected that in this early stage of the plan the greater focus is equality and at the same meeting the group considered the forthcoming Health and Wellbeing Plan, which will support the Council Plan and the Forward Plan of the Integrated Care Board.

Members entered discussion how the PSEG is funded; how members can understand whether PSEG is viable; and the partnership working of the group.

RESOLVED – That the report was noted.
