The CCG Board has established an Integrated Commissioning Committee (Committees in Common) responsible for facilitating shared decision-making between the CCG and Hull City Council with respect to joint commissioning and the integrated financial plan.

The committee is able to direct further scrutiny, both internally and externally where appropriate, for those functions or areas where it believes insufficient assurance is being provided to the CCG Board.

Meetings of the Committee are held bi-monthly with a remit that includes:

• Decision making in relation to the integrated financial plan;
• Governance of the Better Care Plan;
• Oversight of budgets for Health, Adult Social Care, Children & Families, Disabled Facilities (High Needs) and Public Health as set out in the integrated financial plan to ensure joined up investment and disinvestment decisions.

The committee is made up of a CCG lay member, two GP members and the Director of Integrated Commissioning, senior officers and elected members from the City Council.
