Minutes:
The Scrutiny Officer presented the results of the scrutiny survey that was sent to all non-scrutiny members. He summarised the following comments made:
· A number of ideas for future review panels had been offered.
· The balance of scrutiny reviews vs pre-scrutiny work was commented on – however there are no extra resources to do additional review work.
· Currently the timetable for pre-scrutiny items is very tight – to meet the CEB meeting schedule. However the Committee could review scrutiny reports more thoroughly before they go to CEB.
· The Standing Panels could increase their membership to include more backbench councillors.
