Work Programme
Report of Head of Overview and Scrutiny

Purpose of the Report

1 To up-date Members of the Sub-Committee about the work programme for the Sub-Committee.

Background

2. The work programme provides the opportunity to plan the work of the Sub-Committee. Under the Council’s Constitution, the Sub-Committee, following consultation with the Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Main Committee, sets its work programme.

3. The Scrutiny Budget Working Group has been a key element of the work of this Sub-Committee. Discussions with each Service Chief Officer have taken place in the past. The Sub-Committee will need to decide in due course whether this format should be continued. To be effective, the monitoring process for the Budget needs to be on-going throughout the year. Last year, the Scrutiny Budget Working Group process started in the summer.

4. The Sub-Committee also needs to determine whether it wishes to look at other corporate issues. A report about property matters is included on this agenda and may be an area for further consideration. Regular reports, including performance management reports, will be provided to the Sub-Committee during the year.

Recommendations

5. You are recommended to consider the Work Programme for the Sub-Committee.
