35.1     The Committee considered a report summarising the scrutiny role in the Reconciling Policy, Performance and Resources (RPPR) process and requesting comments on the process.

35.2     The Committee made the following observations and suggestions:

·         Consideration could be given to whether scrutiny could provide input earlier in the year on identifying potential savings to inform draft savings plans. It was noted that the first opportunity to comment on draft savings schedules is at the November scrutiny committees which consider the report to October Cabinet setting out the broad areas of search for savings.

·         Scrutiny would welcome more feedback and response to comments on proposed savings made to Cabinet.

35.3     RESOLVED to put forward these comments, along with those from other scrutiny committees, as part of the ongoing development of the RPPR process.
