The Committee resolved:-

(i)               to request that officers look at Term of Reference 1.1.6 (receive reports on inspections and peer reviews in order to ensure best practice and note any actions arising from those inspections and reviews), noting that no reports had been presented to committee under this Term of Reference, and to investigate what other local authorities were doing in relation to inspections and peer reviews and whether any reviews should be presented to this committee in future; and

(ii)              to otherwise note the annual report of this committee.

The Committee had before it a report by the Director of Commissioning, which presented the annual report of the Operational Delivery Committee to enable Members to provide comment on the date contained within.

The annual committee effectiveness reports were introduced in 2018/19 following a recommendation from the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA) as part of the Council’s work towards securing that organisation’s accreditation in governance excellence. 

The report recommended:-

that the Committee -

(a)            provide comments and observations on the data contained within the annual report; and

(b)            note the annual report of the Operational Delivery Committee.
