Decision details

At the invitation of the Chairman Councillor Cohen introduced his Member’s Item.  He noted that the item suggested that future papers produced by the Council on policy matters should have a section which specifically considered Health and Wellbeing.  He explained that a housing policy paper could, for example, also consider wider Health and Wellbeing matters such as GP services and leisure.  Councillor Cohen suggested that the Committee could receive a paper on how this could work.  The Vice Chairman informed the Committee that he was sympathetic to the points that Councillor Cohen raised and noted that, as the matter had cost implications and was cross cutting, Policy and Resources Committee should be asked to consider it.

Following the consideration of the Member’s Item, the Committee:

RESOLVED to ask Policy and Resources Committee to consider the issue contained in the Member’s Item as set out above.
