Hereinafter referred to as SPC 2. Aim To co-ordinate cooperative working between GP groups (federations) in different localities in Somerset to support the shared provision of existing and new clinical services across the county 3. Objectives 3.1 To provide support for all localities in Somerset to establish and develop GP federations 3.2 To encourage localism in the provision of services whilst ensuring all patients have equitable access to these 3.3 To create an organisation that supports bids and tenders of service development that is financially, ethically and contractually accountable 3.4 To recognise that quality, choice and access will remain central elements of future healthcare provision, and to work with Public Health to turn their data into realistic local health improvement plans 3.5 To maintain contact with GP providers in adjacent counties and elsewhere to share best practice 3.6 To work with NHS and other partners in support of constituent federations 3.7 To hold a register of GP federations in Somerset and their constituent practices 4. Structure SPC is an association of GP Provider federations that exists to support the work of these federations. It will operate as an informal club, but should the need arise may, if a majority of the constituent federations approve the proposal, establish a more formal structure for business or organisational purposes. 5. Membership 5.1 Voting members. Each GP federation in Somerset will be entitled to send one delegate to meetings of SPC who will be a full voting member. Named deputies may attend, and may also vote if the substitution is notified to the secretariat no less than 24 hours before the meeting. The Local Medical Committee may appoint one voting member 4.1 Non-voting members Co-opted members may be invited to attend future meetings as may from time to time be agreed by voting members at a meeting. WyvernHealth.Com may appoint one non-voting member and send a deputy in his or her absence 6. Officers At the meeting at which the constitution is adopted the members will elect a Chairman and Vice Chairman and appoint a Secretary who will serve for 12 months. Thereafter elections and appointments will take place at the Annual General Meeting of SPC. Any officer of SPC may be removed from office if more than 2/3 of the total number of possible voting members at the time support a motion of no confidence during a meeting. 7. Meetings 7.1 Business Meetings Shall be held from time to time as the members deem appropriate. A quorum will be for 5 federations to be represented. 7.2 Annual General Meeting An Annual General Meeting will be held at which the Chairman will report on the work of SPC during the preceding year. This meeting will be open to any general practitioner, practice manager, or nominated representative of a practice in a constituent federation, officers of constituent federations, and any person who has been a voting member of SPC during the previous 12 months. Notice of the AGM will be given at least 28 days in advance but not more than 84 days in advance via the mailservice and newsletter of the local Medical Committee. 8. Funding Each federation, and the LMC, will be responsible for expenses of their delegates. Any normal running costs for SPC up to 500 per year will be met by the LMC, thereafter by a levy on constituent federations. Finding for special projects will be agreed by the members as required. If a bank account is required this will be managed as a subsidiary LMC account 9. Secretariat For 2009/10 will be provided by the LMC within the agreed budget 10. Legal Liability Any legal liability arising from the activities of SPC will be the shared responsibility of the organisations submitting voting members. 11. Communications All members are responsible for communication with their home organisation. Where communication with GPs, practices, or other parties is required this will be undertaken by the LMC office on the request of the chairman 12. Declaration of Interest All members are required to declare at the start of any meeting if they have a personal financial interest in any item on the agenda 13. Winding Up In the event of the winding up of the Confederation and there being no successor organisation identified, and residual assets shall be equally distributed between the constituent federations at the time Version 1.2 (draft) 03 08 10 "#$*+;T^egK Z * : H < ȿȷȷȷ~sjhwGV>*CJaJhwGVhwGVCJaJhWCJaJhwGV5CJaJhwGVCJaJhK1CJaJh7CJaJh#@CJaJh'99CJaJhZzCJaJhK15CJaJhZz5CJaJhZz5>*CJaJh"+5>*CJaJh'995>*CJaJhZzhZz5>*CJaJ%#$12:;J K Y Z + < gdwGV^gdZzgdZz$a$gdZz @AX123@A;<gd  ^` gd`gdgdZz^gdZz !ABCEX3456Au9:;lw{|Q]ߺߠנטטנulh#@>*CJaJhwGVhwGVCJaJh#@h#@>*CJaJhwGVhwGV5CJaJh#@CJaJhwGVCJaJh5CJaJhwGV5CJaJhh5CJaJhCCJaJhwGV>*CJaJhCJaJhCJaJhhZz>*CJaJhh>*CJaJ'()ABQR34GH#$%Agd]^ BR4H"#$%@A ϻతϻƐϻ|sh`h'99CJaJh#@h#@CJaJh5CJaJh#@5CJaJhhwGVCJaJhwGV5CJaJhwGVh7CJaJh7h75CJaJhhCJaJh7h7CJaJh75CJaJh7CJaJh5CJaJhCJaJh#@CJaJhwGVCJaJhWCJaJ%A^gdZzgdZz  ^` gdgd#@gd ·hZzhZz5CJaJhZzhZzCJaJhZzCJaJhhCJaJh'99CJaJhK1CJaJhCJaJh#@h#@CJaJh#@CJaJ.:pK1.
