Minutes:
The Commission received the report summarising the Overview and Scrutiny work involving the Bracknell Forest Partnership in 2009/10 which had been endorsed by the Partnership Overview and Scrutiny Group.
Arising in discussion –
The Commission agreed that
(i) Paragraph 3.16 the report be updated after the Commission meeting with the Town Centre Partnership tonight.
(ii) The Partnership Overview and Scrutiny Group, having fulfilled its initial functions regrettably could no longer be supported unless and until new resources were made available. Similarly, the resource constraints meant that O&S reviews of partner organisations’ activities should only be carried out when they formed an integral part of an O&S review of the Council’s own activities, or NHS services.
(iii) The approach to O&S of the Bracknell Forest Partnership should be reviewed in the light of the responses to this report’s recommendations and in the event that the powers of funding of the Bracknell Forest Partnership grew or priorities changed or more resources became available or in two years time at the latest.
RESOLVED that the report of the review of partnership scrutiny be amended as above and adopted for sending formally to the Leader of the Council and the Board of the Bracknell Forest Partnership.
