Issue - meetings

To review the current Work Programme (attached).

The Committee considered its work programme.  Members asked for an update on the previous scrutiny review of Diabetes/Obesity.  It was noted that the report following the Scrutiny Review had been referred to the Health and Wellbeing Board to progress.  

Mrs Towse reported on the work of the Local Involvement Network which was continuing with its Enter and View work specifically looking at paediatric and maternity services.

Councillor Clowes explained that the winter warmth programme was underway and a Winter Planning Group met regularly comprising representatives of various bodies such as the Police, Fire and Rescue Service, Third Sector and Council departments.  This should enable a coordinated approach.  The Group would continue to meet all year round to ensure preventative work took place and contribute to personal and community resilience.  Reference was made to Home Safety Assessments carried out by the Fire Service which included information on heating methods and costs.

RESOLVED:  the work programme be noted.
