Commissioning Group Scheme of Authorisation including Statutory & Regulatory Duties and Powers December 2016
The powers of those Officers defined in the Constitution as Chief Officers are set
out in Section 15 (Responsibility for Functions, Annex B, Scheme of Delegated
Authority to Officers). Statutory Officers (Chief Executive, Chief Operating Officer
and Assurance Director) and Commissioning Directors have a series of general
delegated powers. Chief Officers also have a specific set of delegations relating to
the specific statutory powers or other functions that fall within their remit. The
Constitution provides that Chief Officers may sub-delegate these powers to other
senior officers (Delivery Unit Directors, Delivery Unit Assistant Directors, Strategic
Leads, Commissioning Leads, Heads of Service, Service Managers or Team
Managers). Whilst actions and decisions taken using authority delegated by a
Chief Officer will be taken in the name of the individual officer with delegated
authority the Chief Officer is accountable for ensuring that decisions taken are
lawful and in accordance with the Constitution. The Chief Officer should monitor
the effectiveness of decisions taken under delegated powers, including ensuring
that officers are appropriately skilled to exercise those powers.
Chief officers must exercise the following powers:
Restructures where management arrangements at Head of Service level or
above are proposed to be changed
Entry into formal partnership arrangements with other public bodies to
deliver services
Adding items to the work programmes of the themed / commisioning
committees
Section 15 (Responsibility for Functions) of the Constitution sets out restrictions to
the exercise of delegated powers and these must be considered before exercising
delegated powers.
The Chief Executive is authorised to discharge any functions delegated to
Commissioning Directors.
This scheme sets out the authorisation of the Chief Operating Officer (Section 151 Officer and Chief Finance Officer), Director of Resources (Deputy Section 151 Officer) and Commercial and Customer Services Director for the delegation of the following powers (as is their right under the scheme of delegation within the Constitution) to relevant managers within the Commissioning Group. The Commissioning Directors referred to in Appendix 1 maintain their own schemes of authorisation for the functions that sit within their remit.
Commissioning Group Scheme of Authorisation including Statutory & Regulatory Duties and Powers December 2016
Scheme of Delegation review procedure: The Schemes of delegation must be reviewed on annual basis. The review should commence in the first week of April each year and will aim to conclude within a month. Commissioning Directors are responsible for reviewing and signing off their Scheme of Delegation. HB Public Law should be engaged in the annual review of the schemes to ensure that they reflect current legislation. Following sign-off and publication to the website, Directors are responsible to communicate the new schemes to Delivery Units. If any urgent changes need to be made before the scheduled annual review (i.e. updates to legislation or constitutional changes which impact on the scheme) then schemes should be updated on an ad hoc basis (with HB Public Law engaged as appropriate) and published.
