The Commission
considered a report of the Chief Executive that contained the draft Annual
Report from Scrutiny Bodies to be submitted to the County Council. A copy of the report, marked ‘C’, is filed
with these minutes.
The following
points were made:
- More should be done to publicise
Scrutiny’s contribution to the work of the Council, particularly by Review
Panels, via Leicestershire Matters, press releases and the Council’s web
site;
- In addition to the annual report on
Scrutiny to the Council, as required under the Council’s Standing Orders,
consideration should be given to producing an annual report on Scrutiny
activity for wider general public consumption.
RESOLVED:
That the annual
report be submitted to the Council.
