Issue - meetings

Committee considered their work programme for 2023/24.  The Chair explained that the document presented was a fluid document which could be added to and amended as required.  The programme was considered as part of every meeting to allow Committee Members to adjust to emerging issues throughout the year.

The Scrutiny & Elections Officer noted that she was waiting for confirmation of officer availability in relation to a number of expected reports, as highlighted in yellow in the appendix.

A Member queried how the Work Programme worked and the officer explained that there were a number of reports the Committee received in relation to the Budget & Policy Framework, where it related to the Committee’s terms of reference.  The Committee had a policy development role and could also challenge service performance.  She advised that more specific review work generally took place within informal meetings concluding in a report to Executive with recommendations.

Moved by Councillor Rob Hiney-Saunders and seconded by Councillor Emma Stevenson

RESOLVED that the Work Programme 2023/24 be approved and noted.
