A verbal update was received on the request made by the Scrutiny Committee to indicate on the action plan what department and cabinet member owned each action.  In addition, if the action was linked to or taken from other strategies or plans.  Officers confirmed that the document would be updated to reflect this observation prior to the Draft Strategic Equality Plan being considered by Council in September.
