Decision

Having regard to the arguments and options set out in the documentation before me, the representations made to me and the further considerations set out above, I confirm my decisions on this matter as follows:

1. to invite the Corporate Governance Scrutiny Committee to oversee a Fundamental Review of ICT and to suggest the following terms of reference for the Review subject to the comments of the Scrutiny Committee:

"To ensure we make effective use of technology for the benefit of customers by defining a forward looking, costed ICT development strategy based on a planned use of resources to improve the customer service experience and achieve economies. The review will test whether:

- existing arrangements are fit for purpose

- costs are at or below the average for similar authorities; and

- medium term efficiency savings targets are being met."

2. following the scrutiny work on e-government by the Corporate Governance Scrutiny Committee, to congratulate the responsible officers for fully achieving the ‘Implementing the Electronic Government’ (IEG) target.

Signed

Cabinet Member for Change Management
