The Scrutiny Coordinating Committee meeting on 21 January 2025 was scheduled to involve a review of the council's Corporate Impact Framework and consideration of its Scrutiny Report. It also included proposed plans for establishing a task-and-finish review focusing on adult social care transformation.

Corporate Impact Framework

The Scrutiny Coordinating Committee was scheduled to receive an update on the Corporate Impact Framework, a system for monitoring the council's performance against a set of key performance indicators.

The Committee was scheduled to review performance data and refer any identified issues or queries to the relevant scrutiny committee for further review.

For example, the Corporate Impact Framework report for the meeting noted:

Between October and November, there has been a drop of 2.3% in customer satisfaction, and it currently stands at 70.5%.

It was also scheduled to consider how the Corporate Impact Framework could be used by scrutiny committees and individual councillors to support their work, and to review plans for rolling it out to all councillors.

Scrutiny Report

The Scrutiny Coordinating Committee was scheduled to consider its Scrutiny Report. This report provided an update on the Committee's work, including its action tracker and forward plan.

The Committee was also scheduled to consider the forward plans of each of the other scrutiny committees.

The meeting was also scheduled to involve a discussion of the Cabinet Forward Plan, which is a list of key decisions that the Cabinet expects to take in the coming months. For example, the Cabinet forward plan included an item on Pay to Park Proposed Changes to be decided by the Strategic Director, in consultation with the Deputy Leader (Climate and Air Quality).

Adult Social Care Transformation

The Scrutiny Coordinating Committee was scheduled to consider a proposal for a task and finish review to take a deep dive into adult social care transformation. The review was proposed in the context of increasing demand exceeding available resources.

The meeting was scheduled to consider a proposal that:

A single-session hackathon is proposed as a methodology that would better suit the issue in light of the time available and concerns from members about additional time commitments.

The Committee was asked to agree that the membership of the task and finish group would be made up of members of the Budget Scrutiny and Health and Adult Social Care Scrutiny Committees.
