Issue - meetings

ES20389

It was noted that the ‘Increased Costs for the Coroner’s Service’ was still  rated as red, as it had been for some time.

Members heard from the Assistant Director of Public Protection that the Coroners Service was a consortium of four boroughs, with Croydon as the lead authority for service delivery and budget management. There was much liaison between the four members attempting to resolve issues, but a resolution was not expected within the short term. Bromley had a clear picture of what a good value service should be and were continually asking questions of Croydon as the administrative body, particularly in relation to expenditure.

RESOLVED that the update on the Public Protection and Enforcement Risk Register be noted.
