Issue - meetings

To review and scrutinise the Directorate Risk Register as at 31^st March 2016.  Directorate Risk Registers will be reviewed by Directorate Leadership Teams on a quarterly basis and provided for scrutiny at six monthly intervals.

The Risk Register was presented to the commission and the following points then raised:

-          With regard to resources, the technical and managerial pay grades were set on the basis of developing and rewarding capability to ensure technical knowledge remained within the organisation.  The private sector however was a constant pressure.

-          There were significant risks associated with the relocation of the traffic control centre.  Part of the operations would move in the Spring of 2017, the remainder in the Summer.  Interim measures would ensure the existing systems are sustained as required.

-          It was suggested that future risk registers should feature highlighted reporting to bring out certain elements within the overall report.

-          It was confirmed that systems were in place for a corporate resistance response to disaster although not a specific plan for the Place Directorate.
