&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Members received a report which presented a
summary of the work undertaken by the Health Scrutiny Committee
since April 2008.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;The topics that the Committee had looked at
included Local Involvement Networks (LINks), dental provision and
the &amp;lsquo;Dementia Review&amp;rsquo;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;The Chair of the
Committee requested that political groups considered the benefits
of continuity of membership for the Health Scrutiny Committee when
putting forward nominations for places in the future, in order to
allow Members to build on their training to date and develop a good
knowledge of the complex structures and processes in the health
service.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

three year government funding for the Council to commission a host
organisation to enable, support and facilitate the LINk, Members
queried whether the funding would continue in the longer

existing arrangements at City of York Council for fulfilling the
legislative requirements for facilitating Overview and Scrutiny
within the council. &lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;It

&lt;div class=&quot;mgWordPara&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;Section1&quot;&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Members
received a report which set out the findings to date of a project,
undertaken by officers within the Democratic Services Team, to
review the existing arrangements at City of York Council for
fulfilling the legislative requirements for facilitating Overview
and Scrutiny within the council.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; It considered the existing
arrangements at York in the light of recent research and experience
from other authorities, sought to highlight some key areas of
variation and went on to present potential alternatives to the
current scrutiny structure within the council.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; It asked Scrutiny Management
Committee to consider a revised structure, in order to simplify the
existing arrangements by bringing them more in to line with other
authorities and to make more effective use of the limited resources
available.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;The report
presented the following options for consideration:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span&gt;&amp;middot;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Option A
&amp;ndash; To remove the existing Scrutiny Committees from the
structure and give authority to each of the Executive Member
Advisory Panels (EMAPs) to carry out all of the scrutiny function
in relation to the services under their individual portfolio
areas;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span&gt;&amp;middot;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Option B
&amp;ndash; To replace the existing Scrutiny Committees with an
increased number of alternative Scrutiny Committees, and remove
EMAPs from the decision making structure;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span&gt;&amp;middot;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Option C
&amp;ndash; To r&lt;span&gt;eplace the
existing Scrutiny Committees with an increased number of
alternative Scrutiny Committees, and retain EMAPs, for the
recording of Executive Member decisions, but clearly define their
role to ensure they do not undermine the scrutiny
function;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;span&gt;&amp;middot;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Option D
&amp;ndash; To m&lt;span&gt;ake no change
to the Scrutiny Committees and decision making structure, but
clearly define the role of EMAPs to ensure they do not undermine
the scrutiny function and allow for policy development work
(currently considered by EMAPs in part) to be considered by
Scrutiny Management Committee instead, in line with Section 21
of&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; the Local
Government Act&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; 2000,
with Executive Member decisions continuing to be recorded at
EMAPs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Options A-C
would also involve the removal of the Strategic Policy Panel from
the structure.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; If none
of the options were adopted, some changes would still be needed to
the current structure to meet the requirements of existing or
forthcoming legislation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Some Members
supported Option B and expressed the view that it provided clarity
in the roles of the different bodies and individuals in the
decision making structure, and a properly resourced scrutiny
function to hold the Executive to account.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; Other Members supported a version
of Option C, modified to strengthen the status and increase the
resourcing of scrutiny, on the grounds that EMAPs had an important
discursive role and provided an opportunity for backbench and
minority group members to be informed of and comment on items for
decision.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
RECOMMENDED: &lt;span&gt;That Option B be adopted and
a Committee of Council be formed to consider the detailed

existing arrangements at City of York Council for fulfilling the
legislative requirements for facilitating Overview and Scrutiny
within the council. &lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;It
considers the existing arrangements at York in the light of recent
research and experience from other authorities, seeks to highlight
some key areas of variation and goes on to present potential
alternatives to the current scrutiny structure within the council.
&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;It asks Scrutiny
Management Committee to consider a revised structure, in order to
simplify the existing arrangements by bringing them more in to line
with other authorities and to make more effective use of the
limited resources available.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;mso-layout-grid-align:none;punctuation-wrap:simple&quot;&gt;Members
received a report which set out the findings to date of a project,
undertaken by officers within the Democratic Services Team, to
review the existing arrangements at City of York Council for
fulfilling the legislative requirements for facilitating Overview
and Scrutiny within the council.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; It considered the existing
arrangements at York in the light of recent research and experience
from other authorities, sought to highlight some key areas of
variation and went on to present potential alternatives to the
current scrutiny structure within the council.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; It asked Scrutiny Management
Committee to consider a revised structure, in order to simplify the
existing arrangements by bringing them more in to line with other
authorities and to make more effective use of the limited resources
available.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;mso-layout-grid-align:none;punctuation-wrap:simple&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;mso-layout-grid-align:none;punctuation-wrap:simple&quot;&gt;The report
presented the following options for consideration:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-left:9.0pt;text-indent:-9.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops:list 9.0pt 36.0pt;mso-layout-grid-align:none;punctuation-wrap:simple&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Symbol&quot;&gt;&amp;middot;&lt;span style=&quot;font:7.0pt \&quot;Times New Roman\&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Option A
&amp;ndash; To remove the existing Scrutiny Committees from the
structure and give authority to each of the Executive Member
Advisory Panels (EMAPs) to carry out all of the scrutiny function
in relation to the services under their individual portfolio
areas;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-left:9.0pt;text-indent:-9.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops:list 9.0pt 36.0pt;mso-layout-grid-align:none;punctuation-wrap:simple&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Symbol&quot;&gt;&amp;middot;&lt;span style=&quot;font:7.0pt \&quot;Times New Roman\&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Option B
&amp;ndash; To replace the existing Scrutiny Committees with an
increased number of alternative Scrutiny Committees, and remove
EMAPs from the decision making structure;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-left:9.0pt;text-indent:-9.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops:list 9.0pt 36.0pt;mso-layout-grid-align:none;punctuation-wrap:simple&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Symbol&quot;&gt;&amp;middot;&lt;span style=&quot;font:7.0pt \&quot;Times New Roman\&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Option C
&amp;ndash; To r&lt;span style=&quot;q-bidi-font-family:Arial;q-bidi-font-style:italic&quot;&gt;eplace the
existing Scrutiny Committees with an increased number of
alternative Scrutiny Committees, and retain EMAPs, for the
recording of Executive Member decisions, but clearly define their
role to ensure they do not undermine the scrutiny
function;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-left:9.0pt;text-indent:-9.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2; tab-stops:list 9.0pt 36.0pt;mso-layout-grid-align:none;punctuation-wrap:simple&quot;&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Symbol&quot;&gt;&amp;middot;&lt;span style=&quot;font:7.0pt \&quot;Times New Roman\&quot;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Option D
&amp;ndash; To m&lt;span style=&quot;q-bidi-font-family:Arial;q-bidi-font-style:italic&quot;&gt;ake no change
to the Scrutiny Committees and decision making structure, but
clearly define the role of EMAPs to ensure they do not undermine
the scrutiny function and allow for policy development work
(currently considered by EMAPs in part) to be considered by
Scrutiny Management Committee instead, in line with Section 21
of&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; the Local
Government Act&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; 2000,
with Executive Member decisions continuing to be recorded at
EMAPs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;mso-layout-grid-align:none;punctuation-wrap:simple&quot;&gt;Options A-C
would also involve the removal of the Strategic Policy Panel from
the structure.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; If none
of the options were adopted, some changes would still be needed to
the current structure to meet the requirements of existing or
forthcoming legislation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;mso-layout-grid-align:none;punctuation-wrap:simple&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;mso-layout-grid-align:none;punctuation-wrap:simple&quot;&gt;Some Members
supported Option B and expressed the view that it provided clarity
in the roles of the different bodies and individuals in the
decision making structure, and a properly resourced scrutiny
function to hold the Executive to account.&lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; Other Members supported a version
of Option C, modified to strengthen the status and increase the
resourcing of scrutiny, on the grounds that EMAPs had an important
discursive role and provided an opportunity for backbench and
minority group members to be informed of and comment on items for
decision.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;mso-layout-grid-align:none;punctuation-wrap:simple&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin-left:108.0pt;text-indent:-108.0pt;mso-layout-grid-align: none;punctuation-wrap:simple&quot;&gt;
RECOMMENDED: &lt;span style=&quot;color:black&quot;&gt;That Option B be adopted and
a Committee of Council be formed to consider the detailed
implementation of this model and the constitutional changes
required.&lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;mso-layout-grid-align:none;punctuation-wrap:simple&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;mso-layout-grid-align:none;punctuation-wrap:simple&quot;&gt;
REASON:&lt;span style=&quot;mso-tab-count:1&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;mso-tab-count:1&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;
To improve the Council&amp;rsquo;s Overview and Scrutiny function.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;[Note: Councillors Aspden, R Watson and Waudby
requested that their votes against the recommendation to Council
above be recorded.]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
