Response 28-06-2024

The Moray Integration Joint Board moved to a closed session on 30 May 2024 to consider Item 15 Financial Recovery Plan 2024-25, and the associated appendices – 3 of which you have named in your FOI request.

Closed sessions exclude press and public therefrom, and the Board may decide to do this for the following reasons:
The Board is still in the process of developing proposals or its position on certain matters, and needs time for private deliberation.
The business relates to the commercial interests of any person and confidentiality is required, e.g. when there is an ongoing tendering process or contract negotiation.
The business necessarily involves reference to personal information, and requires to be discussed in private in order to uphold the principles of the Data Protection Act 2018.
The business necessarily involves reference to confidential or exempt information, as determined by the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973.
The Integration Joint Board is otherwise legally obliged to respect the confidentiality of the information being discussed.

As such, exemption under Section 30 - Prejudice to effective conduct of public affairs - is applicable. The Council does not currently believe it is in the public interest for these details to be in the public domain, as this could have a detrimental impact on free and frank discussion around this topic; nonetheless, we can confirm that, following the closed session, the Moray Integration Joint Board discussed the Revenue Budget & Recovery Plan 2024/25 paper and associated appendices. Appendix 2 of this report details the proposed savings plan and provides some information on the topics you have requested reports for.
