MATTERS ARISING

19 September 2012

Councillor H.J. McGuill asked if the Betsi Cadwaladr University Hospital Board (BCUHB) had given feedback on the questions raised by members on page 8 of the Minutes of the meeting of 19 September 2012. The Chair said that feedback would be supplied when final decision was made known.  She added that a special meeting would be convened with BCUHB in order to ask further questions.

4 October 2012

            Councillor I. Smith asked for an update about start times of meetings as discussed on page 9 of the minutes.  The Learning and Social Care Overview and Scrutiny Facilitator said that from May 2013, when the new meetings schedule was prepared, the meetings would alternate between a morning start and an afternoon start, in order to accommodate all members.  She explained that a 1pm start was not a possibility, as a briefing meeting had to be accommodated in advance of the meeting.

            Councillor H.J. McGuill referred to page 12 of the minutes and asked if further information relating to the North Wales Adoption Service was now available.  The Resources Services Manager said that information that he had requested from NWAS was yet to be received.  He said that a full report would be prepared once in receipt of all required information.  The Learning and Social Care Overview and Scrutiny Facilitator said that this could be submitted at a future meeting as an information report, and any issues that arose as a result, could be explored further.

1 November 2012

            The Chair asked the Head of Community Services for an update on The North Wales (draft) Information and Consultation Carers Strategy (page 22) of the minutes.  The Head of Community Services said that as yet there had been no response from the Welsh Government.

RESOLVED:

That the minutes of 19 September, 4 October and 1 November 2012 be approved as a correct record and signed by the Chair.
