Issue - meetings

Report attached.

A report of the clerk invited the Joint Committee to agree some minor changes to the Committee’s Terms of Reference which sought to encompass how the Joint Committee and the relevant boroughs worked in practice and also reflect recent changes to NHS structures.

The recommendation of the report – that the changes to the Committee’s of Reference as shown in the report appendix be agreed) was agreed unanimously with one further amendment that clause 6 of the Terms of Reference be amended to start as follows:

If a member is unable to attend a particular meeting, he or she may arrange for any appropriate Member of the borough Council to attend as substitute, provided that a Member having executive responsibilities may not act as a substitute.
