Subject to the passing of legislative
proposals regarding changes to the Health and Care Bill a new
statutory post of Integrated Care Board Place Director has been
created.
The post holder will report to the new Integrated Care Board for
Cheshire and Merseyside when it is established on the 1st July
2022.
The post holder will be responsible for the leadership, strategy,
effectiveness and delivery of a range of NHS functions for
integrated health and care services.
Partners in Sefton proposed that the Place Director could be a
jointly accountable role to both the Integrated Care Board and the
Council, with the post holder carrying on Council responsibilities
alongside their accountability to the Integrated Care Board. This
model would in principle enable greater integration.
Following an open and transparent competitive recruitment process,
Sefton Council's Executive Director of Adult Social Care and Health
has been offered that role. However, in order to be able to accept
the post Cabinet approval is required.
