VOLUNTEERING Public Representative Required on Health & Transport Action Plan Steering Group Currently there is a vacant volunteer position for a Public Representative to sit on the Health & Transport Action Plan (HTAP) Steering Group. The HTAP was produced in 2008 and refreshed in 2014 by Nestrans, (the Regional Transport Partnership for Aberdeen City and Shire), NHS Grampian, Aberdeen City Council, Aberdeenshire Council, The Moray Council and the Scottish Ambulance Service. Partners representing the Integration of Health and Social Care and from the Third Sector have now joined the Steering Group. The HTAP sets out a range of actions to promote healthier travel, minimise the impact of transport on our health and improve access to health and social care services. The Steering Group oversees the delivery of the action plan. Partners recognise the importance of involving a Public Representative in decision making at a strategic level. The Steering Group is scheduled to meet four times during 2016. There are two sub-groups which also meet quarterly. The Public Representative can attend these meetings as they wish. One focuses on Access to Health and Social Care, the other, Transport and Public Health. Meetings are usually in Aberdeen. It is the hope that the member of the public will be an advocate for all people in Grampian on issues related to transport. The Health and Transport Action Programme Manager, Andrew Stewart, will meet with any prospective Public Representative to discuss what support and training they might require to fully participate and benefit from their involvement with the group and explain the requirements of the role. The Health and Transport Action Plan Programme Manager would work closely with the Public Representative to support them as needs require.
