Every council with an
executive management structure has to have an overview and scrutiny
function. Somerset Council has appointed five scrutiny committees
to perform this function:
·
Adults and Health
·
Children and Families
·
Climate and Place
·
Communities
·
Corporate and Resources
The scrutiny committees each
fulfil a check and challenge function for decisions and policies
made by the Executive.
Adults and Health
Functional areas that are
the responsibility of the Committee cover personal services to
individuals as follows:
·
Health & Wellbeing (including Public Health
Services)
·
Learning and Physical Disabilities
·
Adult Care & Support Services
·
Community Safety
·
Somerset Armed Forces Community Covenant
·
In addition the Committee considers any referrals
made by Healthwatch.
