To receive a report from the Chief Fire Officer, which summarises the progress of implementation of the new Combined Fire Authority (CFA) for Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Portsmouth and Southampton.
Minutes:
The Authority received a report from the Chief
Fire Officer (item 12 in the minute book) that updated Members on
progress with the formation of the Combined Fire Authority
(CFA).
The report provided a summary timeline of work that had been
undertaken along with achievements and opportunities utilised over
the past year. The transition into a CFA had been smooth with
targets achieved ahead of schedule, along with coming in under
budget.
An on-call review was still to take place, but this had been moved
into business as usual work as part of the CFA along with work on
estates. The process had focussed on people, making it an exemplary
example of best practice.
The Chief Fire Officer thanked Members for their brave political
leadership and collaborative working throughout the CFA transition
as well as the Deputy Chief Fire Officer and his officers for their
hard work and determination.
