Minutes:
The Mayor invited Councillor Muhammed Butt, Leader of the Council, to introduce a report from the Corporate Director of Governance outlining a number of proposed changes to the Constitution. In introducing the report it was noted that the changes had primarily been designed to reflect the new senior management structure and requirements within the Health & Care Act 2022 impacting on the Terms of Reference for the Health & Wellbeing Board.
As no other members had indicated they wished to speak and Councillor Muhammed Butt had confirmed he did not need to exercise his right of reply the Mayor then put the recommendations in the report to the vote and they were unanimously declared CARRIED.
Council therefore RESOLVED:
(1) To approve the amendments to the Constitution as detailed within Appendix 1 of the report reflecting the Council’s new senior management structure, the updated Terms of Reference for the Health & Wellbeing Board; update in process for managing joint scrutiny meetings and review of the Members Code of Conduct.
