For Cabinet to note the outcome of the Herefordshire Partnership Governance Review and the impact this new structure will have on performance management and achievement of outcomes for the local community.

THAT

a)                  the outcome of the review and the new governance structure be noted;

b)                  a review of the governance structure be carried out in 2 years; and

c)                  Cabinet be provided with clarity on Herefordshire Partnership Board membership.

To ensure that Cabinet is central to the ongoing development of the Herefordshire Partnership and its governance structures and to ensure that Member involvement and links through to the community are maximised

A number of alternative options were considered while the review was being carried out.  It is felt by the existing Herefordshire Partnership Board and Chief Executives Group that there are no alternative options which would ensure a responsive and accountable framework within which to successfully deliver outcomes for the community.
