Actions from last meeting

An action is what will happen.

Equality Impact Assessments make sure the way people work, and work policies treat everyone fairly and equally.

Draft means it is not the final version.

New information on stakeholder engagement

A member of the secretariat gave an update on stakeholder engagement – when people are asked what they think.

Panel members talked about this.

One member asked if they could run events.

Action

The secretariat will contact this Panel member to get information about how to do this.

Question

Panel members asked if the call for evidence dates could be changed.

Action

Stuart will talk to the Chair of IRISR about having a longer time for the call for evidence.

Looking at themes – ‘A person centred way of working’

Person centred care puts people and their families at the centre of decisions and sees them as experts, working with staff.

The Panel talked about person centred care.

Panel members suggested that the Panel could answer specific questions about each theme at meetings in the future.

Stuart said this will be on the agenda of the next meeting.

Date of next meeting

The next Panel meeting will take place on 17 January from 10am to 12pm at Victoria Quay, Edinburgh.
