Partnership Committees will continue to exist and to be established at local level e.g. in Local Health Offices, in Acute Hospitals, in Voluntary Intellectual Disability agencies and in various sections of the HSE such as Shared Services, Corporate Services etc.
The role and purpose of a Partnership Committee is to be a forum which provides an overall focus for the partnership process, to facilitate the development and implementation of workplace partnership and to facilitate long-term cultural change within their organisations.
All Partnership Committes have joint chairs. The management representatives to the committee select the management joint chair and the union representatives select the union joint chair. Partnership Committees link with all stakeholders in the organisation and these include all staff, the senior management team, union committees and activists, full time union officials, patients, clients and service users.
