In presenting the Forward Work Programme, the Facilitator advised that the meeting of the Committee to be held on 25 January 2018 would take place at Llys Jasmine, Mold.   She also confirmed that the meeting of the Committee with Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board (BCUHB) would be held on 13 December 2017.

In response to the discussions which had taken place earlier during the meeting on the Early Help Hub, the Facilitator advised that a report to provide an update on this item would be submitted to the meeting of the Committee in January. 

The Facilitator drew attention to paragraph 1.03 of the report and advised that at the meeting of the Constitution & Democratic Services Committee held on 25 October 2017, it had been resolved that each Committee should be canvassed for views on meeting preference as part of their forward work programme.  She referred to the options as detailed in the report and asked  the Committee to express a preference for its meeting pattern.  She explained that the outcome would be reported back to the Constitution & Democratic Services Committee.

Councillor Kevin Hughes proposed that the Committee retained its current arrangement to meet on a Thursday morning and afternoon at 10.00 am and 2.00 pm and when put to the vote this was agreed.
