The Chief Executive introduced a report on the
proposed appointment of a new statutory Scrutiny Officer, in
accordance with the requirements of section 9FB of
the Local Government Act 2000 (as amended by the Localism Act
2011).
 
It was noted that the interim
Director of Strategy and current statutory Scrutiny Officer,
Alex Powell, would be leaving the Council later in the week when
his secondment came to an end.  It was
proposed that Leanna McPherson, who was responsible
for the governance and support to the Council’s Overview and
Scrutiny Committee and Health Scrutiny Committee, be designated as
the Council’s interim statutory Scrutiny Officer pending the
recruitment of a new Director of Strategy.
 
The Assembly resolved to designate Leanna McPherson,
Principal Governance Officer, as the Council’s statutory
Scrutiny Officer with effect from 29 September 2023.
