Local Service Board

 

Local Service Boards (LSB) are not new organisations, but local leadership teams, bringing partners together to agree joint actions to achieve better outcomes for citizens where this depends on working across organisational structures and boundaries. 

 

In Pembrokeshire, it was agreed that membership of the LSB be restricted to key strategic planning partners.  However, it is also recognised that there will need to be flexibility, and it is recommended that co-option and project based working be the norm for the LSB core group to access more specialist advice and knowledge.  It is possible that the LSB core group membership will change over time as the priorities it tackles will not be static.

 

Membership of the Pembrokeshire Local Service Board is as follows:

 

Welsh Assembly Government – Kate Cassidy

Pembrokeshire County Council – Bryn Parry-Jones (Chief Executive) and Councillor John Davies (Leader)

Pembrokeshire Association of Voluntary Services – Sue Leonard (Chief Officer)

Hywel Dda Health Board – Trevor Purt (Chief Executive) and Chris Martin (Chair)

Dyfed/Powys Police – Chief Superintendent Dean Richards

 

The LSB is supported by Ben Pykett (PCC Head of Policy and Performance) and Dan Shaw (PCC Corporate Planning Manager)

 

The LSB has drawn up a Local Delivery Agreement, which sets out the priority issues that it will be tackling over the next 12 months.  These are:

  • Affordable Housing
  • Making Pembrokeshire a safer place to live – reducing crime/fear of crime
  • Workforce Development – linked to high value employment opportunities
  • Complex Care Teams
  • Integrated Care Centre (Crymych)

These priorities have been identified from the Residents’ Survey and from work done by local Strategic Planning Groups. 

 

Further information regarding the Local Service Board, membership and minutes of all the meetings can be found on the Pembrokeshire County Council website.
