Decision details

A report was submitted which summarised the impact of disaggregating the LIVE Service and sought approval to disaggregate on a proposed date of 1^st February 2022 (or by latest 1^st April 2022).  The report also sought approval for delegated authority to the Monitoring Officers in the North and West to carry out the disaggregation of the service and to progress the exit from any IAA schedule associated with the LIVE service.

          Clarification was sought on elements of the report and appendix which were felt to be incorrect, particularly around timings and dates for disaggregation of the project. It was subsequently noted that it was the intention for LIVE to be disaggregated by 31^st March 2022 and for new services to commence on 1^st April 2022.

Members noted that LIVE services were already geographically-based in different locations across the county. No changes to the service were proposed.

Initial discussions had been held with trade unions, which had indicated they were happy to move into the consultation stage.

During discussion, members sought clarification on management of the service in the West. It was noted that a new post would be created.

          RESOLVED that:

a)        the proposed disaggregation/separation plan outlined in the Impact Assessment (Appendix A of the report) be endorsed and approval be given for the disaggregation of the LIVE service to be completed by 31^st March at the latest.

b)        delegated authority be granted to the Monitoring Officers for the North and West to take any further decisions or actions necessary to conclude the requirements of the Exit plan of IAA Schedule.

Reason –

To ensure the disaggregation/separation of the LIVE service to take place as per the Task and Finish timeline plans (prior to 31^st March 2022
