Appointment of Director of Digital Change and Technology

The committee resolved not to make an appointment to the post of Director of Digital Change and Technology at this time. Instead, the Chief Executive will make appropriate interim arrangements, and the appointment process for this role will be undertaken again at a later date. The decision to exclude the press and public from this discussion was made on the grounds that it was likely to involve the disclosure of exempt information, with the committee satisfied that the public interest in maintaining this exemption outweighed the public interest in disclosure.
