Members are asked to consider the Committee’s work plan for 2012-2013 and to note the proposed scrutiny topics arising from the scrutiny work planning event held on 2 May 2012. Briefing notes on these topics will be available at the July meeting of this Committee to assist Members in making a decision on which of these topics, if any, they would like to review during this municipal year.
