Agenda item

Report of Group Director of Operations

Members gave consideration to Work Programme items scheduled to be considered by this Scrutiny Committee during 2021/22, and to any additional areas that Members would like to be included.

Members agreed to undertake some work on revised performance indicators, and discussed the potential for a piece of overarching work with other Scrutiny Committees in terms of health, incorporating drug and alcohol abuse services and Mental Health. Members were keen to revisit the previous work undertaken on dementia, and wanted to receive more information about signposting for dementia services.   

Members also expressed an interest in examining regional funding opportunities for Adults Services and how that impacts on Darlington, and scrutinise how the Disabled Facilities Grant, and other funding streams, could be used more proactively.

RESOLVED – That the Work Programme be updated accordingly.
