If yes, is there a PPIE (patient public involvement engagement) representative on this board with the specific remit to provide insights into research agenda setting from the perspective of a patient with lived experience of health issues or as a member of the public/community? [I am not referring to the presence of a lay chair].
3. Is there a PPIE advisory structure (e.g. board, committee, panel) which provides PPIE insights to inform the work of the executive board? (not within individual study groups- I refer to high level feedback into your research strategy meetings).

I realise that some of this information may already be available. However, I was unable to locate it. So, if it is, please provide me with a link to the data.

8. Various links provided above - key board documents page provides links to Integration Scheme and Strategic Plan. The Public Bodies (Joint Working) (Scotland) Act 2014 (the Act) requires Health Boards and Local Authorities to integrate planning for, and delivery of, certain health and social care services. The Act requires them to prepare jointly an integration scheme setting out how this joint working is to be achieved. The Strategic Plan for health and social care in Moray reaffirms the strategic visions and priorities, and sets out how integrated resources will be used to deliver on the strategy over the next 10 years.
