DECLARATION OF PERSONAL INTEREST Additional documents: Minutes: Councillors
Dyfrig Siencyn and Peredur Jenkins declared a personal interest in item 8 on
the agenda because the report included an update on a project to establish a
Welsh-medium Catchment Area School for 3-16 year olds in the catchment area of Ysgol y Gader. Cllr. Siencyn has a child at the school and
is a member of the Governing Body for Ysgol y Gader and Ysgol Gynradd Dolgellau.
Cllr. Jenkins is a member of the Governing Body for Ysgol
y Gader and is deputy Chair of the Shadowing Body for
the new catchment area school, Ysgol Bro Idris. The
Monitoring Officer advised unless there was a specific discussion on that
matter, it was sufficient that they had declared an interest and that it was
not a prejudicial interest. |

MATTERS ARISING FROM SCRUTINY COMMITTEES PDF 61 KB Recommendations
arising from the Services Scrutiny Committee Cyflwynwyd gan: Cyng/Cllr Dyfrig Siencyn Additional documents: Minutes: Chair of
the Services Scrutiny Committee, Cllr. Beth Lawton, was welcomed to the meeting
by Cllr. Dyfrig Siencyn. Cllr.
Siencyn welcomed the opportunity to strengthen direct communication between the
Cabinet and the Scrutiny Committee. The
report presented included recommendations and observations from the Services
Scrutiny Committee on four items. Response to
the report – A. Item – Older People Accommodation
Strategy Cllr. W Gareth Roberts noted the
recommendations presented by the committee and will be discussing issues
surrounding the additional financial recognition required with the appropriate
officers. He noted the intention to
update the Scrutiny Committee following this and welcomed any further
discussions. B. Item – CSSIW (The Care and Social
Services Inspectorate Wales) Annual Report 2014-15 – Work Programme Cllr. Beth Lawton emphasised the need to
nominate the members named in the report to the meeting to assist relevant
officers and the appropriate Cabinet Member to draw up a brief for the
strategic plan in relation to support for carers, and noted the lack of
development on this work. Cllr. W Gareth Roberts noted that he will discuss the
recommendations further with the Department for Adults, Health and Well-being
and report back to the Scrutiny Committee following those discussions. Cllr. Mair Rowlands requested that
consideration is given to young carers when drawing up a brief for the
strategic plan in relation to their support, and noted her willingness to be a
part of such discussions. C. Item – Education Service’s Annual
Report Cllr. Beth Lawton noted the intention for the
Education Support Services Scrutiny Committee Investigation to present a report
on its work to the Cabinet Member for Education in the near future. She also noted that arrangements have now been
made for the Cabinet Member for Education to submit an interim report back to
the Scrutiny Committee to see what the pattern of summer exam results will be.
This will take place in September 2016. Cllr. Gareth Thomas noted the difficulty to
report on all the relevant issues in one annual report and the agreement,
therefore, to split its content into two separate reports in future. He also welcomed the specific attention that
the Committee will be giving to Special Education in the work programme for
next year, and looks forward to working with the Committee. CH. Item – Transport Policy – Adults, Health
and Well-being Department Cllr. Beth Lawton emphasised the lack of
clarity on the appeal process, and noted the Committee’s wishes to make
mutually convenient arrangements with the relevant Cabinet Member and officers
to discuss this further. Cllr. W Gareth Roberts confirmed he will make
the relevant enquiries and liaise with the Committee to make those necessary
arrangements. The Cabinet Member was also asked to ensure an
appropriate Equality Impact Assessment is conducted, giving particular
attention to any issues before presenting the policy to the Cabinet for
approval. Cllr. Dyfed Edwards thanked Cllr. Beth Lawton
and the Committee for the work and welcomed the very useful discussion. Awdur: Gareth James |
