The Overview and Scrutiny Committee in NHDC
The Overview and Scrutiny Committee is entitled to review and scrutinise the decisions and functions of the Council and the Cabinet; and make reports or recommendations on matters affecting the authority's area and inhabitants. It has seven scheduled meetings each year.
Scrutiny Reviews:
As well as its scheduled meetings, the committee establishes a number of task and finish groups each year to look at topics in more depth. Five reviews were completed in 2011. Once a review is complete, a report is prepared which is considered by the Overview and Scrutiny Committee and is then sent to the Cabinet for consideration. Cabinet considered and approved three reports last year.
