Issue - meetings

2.55 p.m.

Report from the Corporate Director for Customer and Organisational Development.

Also attached are the draft minutes from the Joint Audit & Governance and Performance Scrutiny (Transformation) Sub-Committee of 30 January 2020 for information.

The Committee is RECOMMENDED to

a)    agree, in conjunction with the Performance Scrutiny Committee, that the work of the Transformation Sub-Committee is complete in having overseen the start-up phase of the council’s Transformation Programme and that future oversight now reverts back to its two parent committees; and

b)   consider on an ongoing basis which specific change activities it wishes to include on its forward plan.

Recommendation agreed.

The report by the Corporate Director for Customer and Organisational Development was received by the Committee and the following issues raised:

• The Committee will receive assurances to the continuing transformation items being part of the audit plan and brought to this Committee.
• Whilst the report highlights the limited number of redundancies as a result of the financial restructure, no further information on numbers has been received.  A snap shot to show the next financial year would be useful for the Committee and requested that either Claire Taylor or Lorna Baxter attend the next meeting.

RESOLVED to:

a)    agree, in conjunction with the Performance Scrutiny Committee, that the work of the Transformation Sub-Committee is complete in having overseen the start-up phase of the council’s Transformation Programme and that future oversight now reverts back to its two parent committees; and

b)   consider on an ongoing basis which specific change activities it wishes to include on its forward plan.
