(a) That the Committee endorses the proposed governance structure and recommends it to Cabinet to commit to resourcing Year 1 (2024/25) of the programme; and

(b) That the Committee adjusts its own work programme to take account of the role it will play in the transformation programme.

The Chief Officer (Governance) presented a report on the proposed governance structure for the transformation programme which aimed to make savings to help meet the funding gap in the Medium Term Financial Strategy.

The Leader of the Council asked to put on record his thanks to the Chair for his engagement in the process.

During the debate, an amendment was put forward and lost.  A subsequent amendment was put to the vote and carried, which reflected concerns around regularly reviewing progress on outcomes and resources.  Officers noted the request for updates on the programme to indicate a ‘failure standard’ to identify any potential risks.

(a) That the Committee endorses the proposed governance structure and recommends it to Cabinet to commit to resourcing Year 1 (2024/25) of the programme; and
