Report of the Senior Democratic Services Officer.

This report asks the committee to consider a new task group suggestion.

The scrutiny committee received a report of the Senior Democratic Services Officer setting out a proposal for a new scrutiny task group.  Five councillors had now put their names forward to participate in the task group, however this did not include members from the opposition group.  Two councillors had expressed an interest to chair the task group.

Councillor Collett, Portfolio Holder for Community, set out the importance of the task group’s work, which would seek to tackle the problems faced by deaf people trying to access local health services.

RESOLVED –

1.          that a new task group be established to review health services for deaf people

2.          that the Health Services for Deaf People Task Group should comprise Councillors Bolton, Dychton, Grimston, Saffery and Wenham

3.          that Councillor Saffery be appointed Chair of the Health Services for Deaf People Task Group.
