Decision Making
The Board make the key decisions and have reserved those matters that only it can take. Such decisions are made at Board meetings that take place at least 2 times a year and are recorded in the Minutes. Board meetings are public meetings at which anyone can attend the general business sessions. All other matters which, by definition, the Board considers suitable for delegation or may otherwise need to be dealt with between Board meetings have been delegated to its Plenary Committees, in accordance with the Board’s Standing Orders, Scheme of Delegation and Financial Regulations. In addition to this the Board is represented on a number of Joint Advisory Committees, which make recommendations on various matters. Decisions and Board policy are then implemented by the Chief Executive and his/her Management Team. The roles of the Board’s Chairman and Chief Executive in the decision-making process are clearly set out in the Division of Responsibilities policy.
