Decision details

The County Secretary & Solicitor clarified that in relation Item 6, which related to the Annual Governance Statement 2013/14, he had accepted at the meeting on 29 September 2014 that a sentence in paragraph 3.4 of the Statement was open to different interpretations.

Whilst no amendment was moved at the meeting, and as the Annual Governance Statement had been signed and was made public immediately after the meeting, so that the document could not now be amendedretrospectively, the Minutes should reflect the fact that the Audit and Governance Committee had not received all of the reports that had gone to Cabinet concerning the failure to deliver services to a satisfactory standard and to achieve procurement savings, the only reports to the Audit and Governance Committee in this regard related to information governance issues.

Resolved: That the Minutes of the meeting held on 29 September 2014 be confirmed and signed by the Chair.
