THE THINKSPACE EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED
The above meeting has been cancelled. EVOC said:
I am sorry to let you know that we will have to cancel next week’s ThinkSpace.
This ThinkSpace was originally arranged to coincide with the beginning of the EIJB’s official consultation period on the new Strategic Plan which was due to commence after the next EIJB board meeting on 8 February (next Friday).
EVOC has become aware that the time scales how now changed, and the production of the Strategic Plan for the next three years (2019-2022) will be delayed. It is our understanding that the current (2016-2019) Strategic Plan and associated directions are likely to be extended until June.
This means that the current draft strategic plans and commissioning plans that have been intermittently shared, and which some of you may have seen, will be further revised, presented in a new format and taken, along with directions, which will be costed and prioritised, to the EIJB meeting on 29 March 2019. It is likely that there will then be an official period of consultation following this meeting.
It was a difficult decision whether or not to cancel the upcoming meeting, as I am sure many of you would be keen to meet with the panel that had been scheduled. However, in light of the fact that we have no strategic plan to discuss, we cannot hold the proposed discussion around it.
We hope to be back in touch shortly with an official statement from Judith Proctor Chief Officer of EIJB, whom we have approached to clarify the position.
We will be re-scheduling the event, we will be in touch to confirm this asap.
The meeting details were:
Please join us at the Quaker Meeting House to review The Edinburgh Integration Joint Board’s Outline Strategic Plan (2019 – 2022). This event will be an opportunity to ask questions to members of the executive management team regarding the plan. Summaries of the outline plans will be available from EVOC’s website shortly.
This event is for third sector organisations only. There are limited tickets available for this meeting, please try where possible to book for one attendee per organisation.
