AGREED RECOMMENDATIONS

Reason for decision – as specified in the report.

Other options considered - none.

Conflicts of interest/dispensations granted – none.

Councillor Klute, Chair of the Health and Care Scrutiny Committee presented the committee’s recommendations.  Councillor Klute advised that although it was surprisingly difficult to find a causal link between living in damp homes and ill health, it was commonly accepted that people in damp properties often suffered from more health issues than others and that the committee felt very strongly that the council needed to take more positive action.

Councillor Watts thanked Councillor Klute and the Committee for their hard work.  It was agreed there would be a further discussion about housing allocation scheme priorities prior to the Executive Member’s formal response.

RESOLVED:

1.    That the report of the Health and Care Scrutiny Committee be received.

2.    That the Executive Member’s response be reported to a future meeting of the Executive, having due regard to any relevant implications.

Reason for decision – to allow the Executive to consider the recommendations of the Health and Care Scrutiny Committee.

Other options considered – none, other than as detailed in the report and related papers.

Conflicts of interest/dispensation granted – none.
