Model Two - modified SRG
The second model retained some elements of the SRG, but would seek to strengthen its role by giving it a decisive role in the future appointment of the Board chair and vice chair. (Compare the appointment process for the Commissioners for Children and Young People and Older People). Further, that alternate meetings of the Board should be with the SRG, with an ability to shape the Boards agenda and a scrutiny role. In terms of public contact, they could have a target of 3% of the population within two years. The intention being that the LHB would commit itself to the same level and type of engagement required of English Foundation Trusts.
The concept of a CHC regulator was considered, perhaps with some lessons being learnt from the role of Monitor, in relation to English hospitals with Foundation Trust status. Some felt that setting a 3% target was mechanistic. Quality was an equally important consideration and the LHB contribution to CE strategy should be seen as part of the whole, rather than seeking to duplicate what already exists.
