Agenda item

Following discussions at the Scrutiny Committee, the cabinet Board agreed that the proposed draft response be amended to reflect the points made by Scrutiny Committee Members, following which the Head of Corporate Strategy and Democratic Services be authorised to submit the amended consultation response to Welsh Government.

Also, the Cabinet Board agreed that a covering note be prepared by the Head of Corporate Strategy and Democratic Services to accompany commentary on each proposed wellbeing indicator to reflect the discussion that took place in the Scrutiny Committee about the fitness of the general framework being proposed for measuring the wellbeing goals.  In particular, that the framework could track changes in inequality across communities and between particular population groups.

Decisions:

Cabinet Board agreed that the proposed consultation response attached at Appendix 1 to the circulated report be amended to take into account points made at the Scrutiny Committee meeting immediately preceding the Cabinet Board and that the Head of Corporate Strategy and Democratic Services be authorised to submit the amended consultation to Welsh Government, together with a covering letter that expressed the Council’s views as to the overall fitness of the approach being taken to the development of wellbeing indicators.

Reason for Decisions:

In order to provide the Welsh Government with commentary on the proposals for national well-being indicators.

Implementation for Decisions:

The decisions will be implemented after the three-day call in period.
