It outlined the need to change the terms of engagement with the Interim Managing Director of Stockport Director due to the changing nature of the role and the need to include new management accountability as the new integrated leadership structure is implemented.
It was acknowledged that the request being made to Appointments Committee was exceptional but was due to the changing partnership governance that are emerging due to the Stockport Together Programme. It was acknowledged that the Committee was not being asked to interview and appoint to the post; they are being asked to agree to the creation of a post at this grade.

(3) That the scope for extension be agreed in exceptional circumstances should it be required for a period not exceeding 3 months.
