Issue - meetings

The Chairman of the Health and Wellbeing Scrutiny Committee submitted a report on the Committee’s future work programme for 2015/16.

Councillor P Moore suggested that the Head of Community Safety and Health Services be invited to a future meeting to discuss progress on the new Licensing Policy.  This was supported.

The Leader suggested that the Committee might want to consider a presentation/report on planning and place, including housing, for older people in the health and wellbeing agenda.  She further suggested that Officers review the implications of town and rural isolation.  These suggestions were supported.  

Councillor A Alder suggested that Disabled Facilities Grants (DFG) be reviewed and that “Cross Roads” and the officer responsible for DFGs be asked to attend a meeting to address this.  The Chairman explained that Members needed to support and scrutinise more in depth projects and explained who, within the Council, administered DFGs.

Members asked that an Officer provide an update on the District Plan and how this supported the health and wellbeing agenda.

The Committee approved the report, as now amended.

RESOLVED – that the work programme, as now amended, be agreed.
