Agenda item

Members noted the views of the Joint Social Care, Health and Housing Scrutiny and Children, Young People and Education Scrutiny Committee and were in agreement that the Population Assess be commended to Council on 15 March 2017 subject to the Equality Impact Assessment being fully completed to accompany the report.

Decision:

1.   That the Western Bay Population Assessment be approved and commended to Council subject to the Equality Impact Assessment being satisfactorily completed.

2.   That the Director of Social Services, Health and Housing be authorised to publish a link to the Population Assessment on the Council’s website.

3.   That the the City and County of Swansea be authorised to submit the Population Assessment to Welsh Ministers on behalf of the three local authorities and the Health Board in the Western Bay Region.

Reason for Decisions:

To discharge the duty placed upon the three local authorities and the ABMU Health Board operating as a Western Bay region to produce a regional population assessment report and to authorise the relevant officers to publish the assessment and submit the regional report to Welsh Ministers.

Implementation of Decisions:

The decisions are for immediate implementation, the Chairperson of the relevant scrutiny committee had agreed to this course of action. There would therefore be no call in of these decisions.
