Meeting: 16/01/2017 - Overview and Scrutiny Board (Item 86)

86 Cabinet Work Programme 1st February to 31st May 2017 pdf icon PDF 172 KB

Minutes:

The Board considered the contents of the Cabinet Leader’s Work Programme for the period 1st February to 31st May 2017.  Members noted that few changes had been made to the work programme since December and no items were selected as suitable for pre-decision scrutiny.

 

Concerns were raised that there was only one item listed on the Cabinet Leader’s Work Programme for consideration after February 2017.  This made it difficult for Members to identify any items that might be suitable for pre-scrutiny in advance of a Cabinet decision.  The Board suggested that this undermined the accountability and transparency of the Council’s decision making process.  Heads of Service, who were primarily responsible for adding items to the work programme, were therefore urged to plan further ahead.

 

RECOMMENDED to the Corporate Management Team that Heads of Service plan further ahead and add items to the Cabinet Leader’s Work Programme in a more timely manner.
