Issue - meetings

The Chairman of the Health and Wellbeing Scrutiny Committee submitted a report reviewing the Committee’s programme in the context of proposed changes to the scrutiny committee system.

The Scrutiny Officer reminded Members that Council had approved a new arrangement with regard to the scrutiny process and explained how items on the work programme would be incorporated within the work programmes for the new scrutiny committees.  

The Scrutiny Officer drew Members’ attention to the annual report which was being prepared and asked them to let her have any comments on issues which they had been particularly proud of by the deadline of 30 March 2017. 

The Chairman asked that a report on Air Quality be included within the new committee work programme.  This was supported.

Councillor S Cousins referred to the fact that this was the last meeting of Health and Wellbeing Scrutiny Committee and thanked the Chairman for her work on health and wellbeing issues.  The Chairman thanked Members for their contribution to the scrutiny process and hoped that the good work would continue.

Members received the report, as amended.

RESOLVED – that (A) the report be received; and

(B)   items from the Health and Wellbeing Committee work programme including a further report on Air Quality, be included within the proposed new scrutiny system.
