Scrutiny Work Programme 2019-20 PDF 76 KB To note the Scrutiny Work Programme for 2019-20 Minutes: The Committee considered a report setting out its work programme along with that of its three Sub-Committees for 2019-20. The Chair highlighted that it was increasingly likely a General Election would be called for early December. As such it may necessitate moving the date of the next Scrutiny & Overview Committee meeting scheduled for 9 December. At present the items on the agenda for that meeting included a Question Time session with the Cabinet Member for Culture, Leisure and Sport, Councillor Oliver Lewis and Fairfield Halls. It was advised that a tour of Fairfield Halls would be arranged for Members prior to the meeting. The Chair of the Streets, Environment and Housing Sub-Committee, Councillor Leila Ben-Hassel, confirmed that the Sub-Committee would be looking at the Licensing and Housing Strategies at their next meeting along with a review of the Local Plan. It was confirmed that 23 April 2020 meeting of the Health & Social Care Sub-Committee would be dedicated to looking at the life course of mental health care in the borough. Arrangements for this were still to be finalised, but it was likely that members of the Children & Young People Sub-Committee would be invited to attend the meeting to provide their insight. The Chair of the Children & Young People Sub-Committee, Councillor Robert Ward, confirmed that items on the new safeguarding arrangements and data sharing would not now be on the agenda for their next meeting on 5 November 2019 and would instead come to a later meeting. Finally it was highlighted that members of the Children & Young People Sub-Committee had recently visited the Refugee Council, which had been really helpful in giving Members an insight into the unique circumstances in Croydon. It was suggested that it would be useful if the members of the Scrutiny & Overview Committee could also be invited to future visits. It was resolved that the Scrutiny Work Programme 2019-20 be noted.
