This report presents the Committee with its annual Work Programme.

The Committee received a report presenting its annual Work Programme.

The following matters were considered:

a)            Governance and Scrutiny. A Member of the Committee asked if there is any update from officers, regarding the role of the Committee in conducting scrutiny work and investigating services and performance, that had been raised at the previous meeting.  The Chair informed the Member that this would be followed up on and a response provided to all Committee Members.

b)            Time and Resource. A Member raised that if the Committee is to deal with both Audit and Scrutiny, then there must be time and resource made available to do so. The Chair noted the comments.

c)            LGO and ICO updates. A Member of the Committee asked why the LGO and ICO update report was crossed out on the work programme for the February 6^th Meeting. The Assistant Director of Corporate Services explained that the Committee agreed that the report would only come to the meeting when there were updates to share, as there are no updates to share, it has not been brought to the February 6^th meeting.

Following consideration, the Committee unanimously resolved to:

(1)      Note and agree the ongoing Work Programme as presented in Section 2.
