Next Steps for DacCom

Main areas from Navigant Report that need to be addressed:

•	Chief Exec

Do we agree?
Should this be an external appt?
A mixture of clinical and business skills?
Who should facilitate this?

•	Small Operational Board 

Do we agree?
How many is ideal-suggestion is 6
Defined roles?
Empowered by Exec to make decisions and take action 
Use of locums to cover these individuals?

•	Exec Committee

To be representative of practices?
To have less frequent meetings
Retention of (some) existing members would ensure continuity

•	Communication

With the PCT (active involvement, PbC support person)
With practices (newsletter, workshops, skills matrix, DacMan, Locality, précis of report to be circulated, process for election of Board + Exec to be circulated)
Commissioning Plan-how do we engage practices so involvement is evident?

•	AGM		Date 

•	Recommendation

We can aim to go through all of the above at our meeting although this is ambitious. Suggest we make the main decisions (in bold) and the Directors and I meet prior to the September meeting with suggestions for the remaining items; if anyone else wishes to join us, they are welcome.
