It was also noted the Overview & Scrutiny Committee had delegated to the Panel scrutiny of the Five Year Plan outcome – ‘more people will take responsibility and manage their own health, care and support needs’.  This was currently an un-programmed item and the Scrutiny Officer would advise on the format and timing of this scrutiny.

Members also requested that reports be considered by the Panel at an appropriate stage of development to ensure proper scrutiny before decisions were made before Cabinet or Slough Wellbeing Board approval.

Resolved –  That the Forward Work Programme for 2015/16 be endorsed, subject to the amendments detailed above.
