The Committee considered a report (Agenda Item 5) which showed the changes to be made to the Council’s constitution as follows:

1.                  Article 6 of the Constitution (The Executive) and Paragraph 5.1.9 (Executive Rules of Procedure) had been updated to reflect the fact that the Health and Wellbeing Board was a sub-committee of the Executive.

2.                  The Council’s Scheme of Delegation had been updated to reflect the new Public Health duties placed on the Council in accordance with the Health and Social Care Act 2012.

Andy Day, Head of Strategic Support, reported that he had been granted delegated authority by Council to make these changes and the purpose of bringing this back to this Committee was to show how these changes were reflected in the various sections of the constitution.

In relation to 3.17.6 on page 65 it was agreed that the word “and” needed to be inserted between the words “pupils” and “of”.  The word “children” also needed to be amended to read “children’s”.

RESOLVED that the changes made to the Articles of the Constitution, Scheme of Delegation and Executive Rules of Procedure, as amended, be noted.
