The Facilitator presented the current Forward Work Programme for consideration and advised on the following amendments which had been made since the last meeting:-

• The Local Housing Market Assessment report, which had been scheduled to be presented in February would now be presented at the March meeting; and
• The Budget 2024/25 report would now be presented to the Committee at the February meeting.

In relation to the action tracking document, shown at Appendix 2 of the report, the Facilitator reported that the letter to be sent to Welsh Government (WG) around funding pressures for homelessness had been approved by the Chair but was being reviewed following the recent WG budget announcement and would be sent prior to the next meeting. 

The Facilitator also advised that she was chasing the financial information requested on Out of County Placements, which maybe included in the budget report due for consideration at the next meeting. 

The recommendations, as outlined within the report, were moved by Councillor Bernie Attridge and seconded by Councillor Dennis Hutchinson.

(b)       That the Facilitator, in consultation with the Chair of the Committee, be authorised to vary the Forward Work Programme between meetings, as the need arises; and
