a) Notes the latest position following the review of decisions made under urgent delegated powers arising from the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Reasons for the decision:
During the Covid-19 pandemic several urgent officer decisions were made by the Executive Director for Adult Social Care and Health. These decisions could not be made through the Council’s normal democratic procedures due to the impact of the pandemic on democratic procedures. The two decisions remaining are currently static.
The Officer Decisions have been continually reviewed on a fortnightly and now monthly basis by the Executive Director for Adult Social Care and Health and their Senior Management Team. These are routinely reported to the Cabinet member at their monthly meeting. Where a decision no longer requires to remain in place this will be reported to the Cabinet Member and removed from future summary reports.
