(2) The arrangements may include provision— (a) for the appointment of committees or sub-committees of the integrated care board, and (b) for any such committees to consist of or include persons other than members or employees of the integrated care board. (3) The arrangements may include provision for any functions of the integrated care board to be exercised on its behalf by— (a) any of its members or employees; (b) a committee or sub-committee of the board. (4) If the constitution includes provision under this paragraph allowing committees or sub-committees to exercise commissioning functions, the constitution must— (a) provide for the members of any such committee or sub-committee to be approved or appointed by the chair of the integrated care board, and (b) prohibit the chair from approving or appointing someone as a member of any such committee or sub-committee (“the candidate”) if the chair considers that the appointment could reasonably be regarded as undermining the independence of the health service because of the candidate’s involvement with the private healthcare sector or otherwise.
