JOINT SCRUTINY COMMITTEE REPORT The Chairman to provide an update following the meeting of the Joint Scrutiny Committee on 19 April 2017. Minutes: Councillor Mark Newman circulated notes of the Joint Scrutiny Committee meeting held 19 April 2017 and summarised the main areas cover, as set out below.
Following on from the previous meeting’s consideration of the current methods of engaging with our communities, two representatives from the Tenants Forum and one from Suffolk Food Hall gave feedback on their experiences of dealing with the Council. The Committee asked Mike Evans to convey the comments made to SLT with a view to sharing the good points across the organisation, but also to discuss the cultural changes which would help to ensure that the less positive experiences can be addressed. Members also asked SLT to update future Scrutiny Committees on progress in six months’ time.
Jon Seed, Corporate Manager – Policy and Strategy (Health and Wellbeing) and Heather Worton, Corporate Manager – Property Services updated members on the role played by the Councils in tackling delayed transfer of care from hospitals. The main conclusions were that we are working with our partners to help prevent admissions, and that very few patients are prevented from returning home because of delays in making adaptations to their properties. This work is given a high priority and only affects a very small number of patients.
Members accepted the recommendations of the Task and Finish group which looked at neighbourhood plans, as set out in Paper JSC …, and agreed the Annual Report to be made to the May Council meeting.
As the outgoing Babergh Chairman of the current Joint Scrutiny Committee, Councillor Newman thanked the Committee Members and the officers for their support.
