Issue - meetings

To consider a report updating the Panel on the services to be shared with Cheshire West and Chester (CWACC) from 1 April 2009.

Consideration was given to a report updating Members on Shared Services.

Concerns were raised that too many services were being shared with Cheshire West and that the concept of Shared Services involving s minor number of small teams had been lost.  It was considered more appropriate if Shared Services had started with highways and education prior to looking at ICT.  There was concern that because of the location of the ICT shared service structure there might be a feeling that Cheshire County Council was running the service.  It was further suggested that it would have helped Members if the report had referred to those services not being shared out.

RESOLVED

That the update be noted.
