Members considered a report which sought approval for the final version of the Directorate Plan for Resources.

At the January meeting of Corporate Services EMAP Members considered an early draft version of the first Directorate Plan for Resources. Following a period of consultation the final Plan was re-presented here. The Plan was designed to cover a 3-year timescale. Whereas the draft Plan brought to Members at the January meeting was for comment only, Members were asked to approve this final version or suggest further amendments to it.

Members queried as to whether there would be any interim arrangements to cover the management vacancies that would be coming up soon. It was reported that the posts for Director of Resources and Assistant Director for audit and risk management would shortly be advertised and hopefully filled in April. It was further reported that a restructure was planned and that a report would be brought to members in the near future.
