CONFIRMED
been finalised as yet. Chris suggested the CMS report could be delivered using
the existing format for this year once staff were in the necessary roles. DOC and
Board need to agree on reporting.
M Legge said the new system can’t work until the old system had been analysed.
Board considered whether they should continue with CMS reporting until more
was known about the DOC structure and Boards generally. M Legge answered
yes, Board need to do ground work and perceive implementation on CMS. The
reporting is done annually so it can feed into the DOC business plan.
The 19 September CMS workshop will be a good opportunity in invite staff in
their new roles, to come to workshop and work in with the Board to develop future
reporting requirements.
M Legge was prepared to analyse previous CMS reporting and also look at the
flowcharts developed from CMS workshop last September. He would work with C
Hickford and J Jones to develop a draft.
Action: M Legge/BSO
Draft CMS for Canterbury, Otago and Southland have just been released but
didn’t say much on reporting.
