To consider a report of the Audit and Assurance Manager.

The Audit and Assurance Manager submitted a report setting out the Committee’s proposed work plan for the 2015/16 Municipal Year, outlining the areas to be considered by the Committee at each of its meetings over the period of the year. The work plan would help to ensure that the Committee met its responsibilities under its Terms of Reference and maintained focus on key issues and priorities, as defined by the Committee.

The transfer of Children’s Health Services to the local authority in October 2015 was suggested as a possible work area, in terms of the budget value to Trafford of the services and any areas of risk. Members were advised that this would be raised with Health Scrutiny and subject to that discussion may be added to the work programme.

RESOLVED –

(1)        That the 2015/16 work programme be approved.

(2)        That the Committee notes that the Public Health issue relating to the transfer of Children’s Health Services to the local authority from October 2015 shall be considered as a potential item for either the Health Scrutiny Committee or its own work programme.
