Additional documents: Minutes: The Acting Chief Executive submitted Draft Terms of Reference for the newly constituted Health, Well Being and Partnerships Scrutiny Committee. The Terms of Reference detailed the remit and role of the Committee and made particular reference to the joint working arrangements with Staffordshire County Council for the scrutiny of Health matters. Members discussed the need for flexibility in the workload of the Committee whilst acknowledging the limitations on resources within the authority to support that workload. At a later point during the meeting the Chair sought support from the Committee to the extension of its membership to include 2 non-voting co-opted member representatives of young people in the Borough, proposing that they be appointed from Student Representative Bodies at Keele University and Newcastle College.
