The minutes of the meeting held on 7 July 2021 were confirmed as correct.

The minutes of the meeting held on 7 July were noted.

The Cabinet Member for Social Care and Health Integration (CM) raised the issue of Early Help services, which was considered at the Committee’s 7 July 2021 meeting (minute 9 refers), and the recommendations put forward by Members for consideration. An initial draft response to these had been shared with her; however, further time was needed before a final response could be provided to the Committee, as some of the recommendations were within the remit of other Cabinet Members, which would need to be coordinated, and she was also not fully satisfied with the initial response. The Strategic Director for Law and Governance stated that she would also follow this matter up, having recently taken over the role of Statutory Scrutiny Officer from the former Director of Strategy and Participation, who had recently left the Council.
