The Social Care and Environment Overview & Scrutiny Facilitator presented the current Forward Work Programme and pointed out that the Chief Executive of Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board was leaving.  The Chief Officer (Social Services) advised that Jill Harris who was previously acting Chief Executive of (BCUHB) would be covering the post during transition.  The Chair requested that any questions that Members had for the meeting with the Health Board on 30^th November should be submitted to the Facilitator by 1^st November in order for her to forward them to the Board to enable them to research the questions and have answers on the day rather than answering at a later date.

            The Chief Officer (Social Services) advised Members that staffing would be referenced in the review of Performance Reporting on 8^th December which Councillor Claydon raised concern about, especially with the pressures in Adult Social Care.

The Facilitator encouraged Members to put forward any items they may wish to add to the Programme.

The Senior Manager for Adults informed Members that staff files and people in supported living were now in a digital format however CSIW were still asking for a paper copy which the Facilitator advised was the only item outstanding on action tracking.

The recommendations in the report were moved by Councillor Rob Davies and seconded by Councillor Cunningham.
