Report by the Chief Executive

28.1     The Committee discussed its input into the Reconciling Policy, Performance and Resources process and possible future improvements.   The Committee acknowledged the Department provide detailed information on both the impact of proposed savings and mitigations for each service.   However, the Committee were generally of the view that for an individual service it would be helpful if they could be provided with greater clarity about the potential impact of proposed savings on children and young people themselves.   The Committee also agreed that such information should be provided to them earlier in the process so as to enable Members to make an effective contribution to the RPPR process. 

28.2         In response the Director of Children’s Services confirmed that the Committee’s comments will be taken into account when planning next year’s RPPR process.

28.3RESOLVED to:

(1)   To the note the report;

(2)   Forward on the Committee’s feedback for consideration as part of the wider review of the RPPR process.
