The Moray Integration Joint Board

In Moray the partnership of  health and social care is governed by Moray Integration Joint Board (IJB).

The board had been operating in shadow form since April 2015 and took up its full powers on 1st April 2016

Membership comprises eight voting members - four elected members of The Moray Council and four representatives of the NHS Board - supported by advisors from the council, NHS, third sector and the community.

Moray IJB has responsibility for the planning, delivery and resources for health and social care services as delegated by the NHS Board and Local Authority.

It has a Chief Officer who is accountable to Moray IJB, the Chief Executive of NHS Grampian and the Chief Executive of Moray Council.

The framework for the governance and operation of the board is set out in the Integration Scheme which was signed off by the Scottish Government in February 2016.

Moray IJB holds at least four meetings a year which are open to the public.
