To confirm as a correct record the minutes of the meeting of the Board held on 13 June 2018.

The minutes of the meeting of the Board held on 13 June 2018 were confirmed as a correct record and signed by the Chairman.

The Board considered the item in Minute 15, and not included on the agenda, the Chairman being of the opinion that it was urgent by reason of special circumstances i.e. the matter having arisen since the agenda was prepared and it was unreasonable to delay a decision until the next meeting.

Councillor Long requested that a Task and Finish Group be established to consider the issue of rough sleeping and anti-social behaviour in Torbay’s town centres.  He asked that consideration be given to:

·         the effects of the issue on services such as the ambulance service and the Police

·         how the Police are trying to tackle the matter

·         the actions that the Council or other agencies could take resulting from the recent Crisis report on homelessness in Torbay.

The Board supported the establishment of a task-and-finish group and it was noted that, in the first instance, a briefing note would be prepared.

To receive updates on the development of an Integrated Care System in Devon and the proposed Local Care Partnership for Torbay and South Devon.

The Board received a briefing note from the South Devon and Torbay Clinical Commissioning Group on some of the national and local developments to support integrated care for people locally.  The note included details of how the two Clinical Commissioning Groups in Devon were working together and the potential for the two bodies to merge.

Two members of the public made representations to the Board.

Resolved:  that a further update be provided to the Board later in the year.

The Executive Head – Assets and Business Services to provide an update on the progress being made in implementing the Destination Management Plan.

The Elected Mayor and Executive Lead for Tourism and Harbours to answer the Board’s questions.
