Issue - meetings

To approve the appointments to the Adoption Panel, the Fostering Panel and the Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care System Joint Scrutiny Committee.

Consideration was given to a report inviting Council to approve a number of appointments to Statutory Panels which did not fall within the definition of “Committee” for the purpose of legislation.

It was moved and seconded that Councillor Brain Puddicombe be appointed to the Adoption Panel and that Councillor Carol Bulman be appointed to the Fostering Panel. 

The motion was put to the vote and was declared carried.

With regards to the Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care System Joint Scrutiny Committee, It was reported that due to the political proportionality calculations across the Committee’s nine authorities not yet having been confirmed, these appointments would be made by the Scrutiny Committee, as they had been in previous years.  Council was therefore not being asked to make a decision on this matter.

RESOLVED:  That

1        Councillor Brian Puddicombe be appointed to the Adoption Panel; and

2        Councillor Carol Bulman be appointed to the Fostering Panel.

3        the appointments to the Cheshire and Merseyside Integrated Care System Joint Scrutiny Committee be made by the Scrutiny Committee.
