(a)       That the report be noted;

(b)       That the Forward Work Programme be amended to take account of the suggested changes and amendments. 

The Environment and Social Care Overview & Scrutiny Facilitator introduced the report to consider the Forward Work Programme for the Committee. 

The Facilitator reminded Members of the Joint Social & Health Care and Housing Overview and Scrutiny Budget meeting which was scheduled to take place on Tuesday, 28^th January 2014 and explained that the start time of the meeting had been changed from 9.30am to 9.15am. 

Details were also provided by the Facilitator of the items scheduled for consideration at the Joint meeting of this Committee and Housing Overview & Scrutiny Committee on 6 February 2014 at Llys Jasmine in Mold.  It was suggested that the start time of the meeting be moved to 1pm to allow a short tour of the facility to take place. 

For the meeting on 13 February 2014, the Facilitator advised that the CSSIW Inspection Report would not be submitted as the Inspection was not taking place until week commencing 13th January 2014 and the report would therefore not be ready.  Jackie James would be attending the meeting to provide an update on Public Health and a discussion on Rota Visits would also be taking place.  Councillor Hilary McGuill asked for an updated list of Visits. 

The Facilitator provided details of the items scheduled for consideration at the 20 March 2014 meeting and suggested that a Task Group be established to look at the Annual Council Reporting Framework before its consideration at that meeting.  She added that the Annual Fostering Inspection report may need to be moved to a later meeting if it was not ready for submission to the meeting on 20 March 2014. 

It had been suggested that reports on the CSSIW Action Plan Update and the Emergency Duty Team Update be submitted to the 12 June 2014 meeting of the Committee.  The Facilitator also advised that reports on Foster Care and Family Placement Team and an Update on the Single Point of Access would be submitted to the June or July 2014 meeting of the Committee.  

RESOLVED:

(a)       That the report be noted;

(b)       That the Forward Work Programme be amended to take account of the suggested changes and amendments.
