The Chairman referred to paragraph 5 of the same page, this referred to percentages noted in response to a survey. It had been mentioned in the minutes that the meaning of the percentages noted in the table required clarification, and that Mr Woolgar had promised to investigate this and report back.

The Chairman noted in the minutes that clarification was required concerning the Council’s policy regarding lease cars, and he asked that this be followed up. 

 

The Chairman then referred to the following note from page 6 of the minutes:

 

The Director of Commissioning outlined that a piece of work was required to ascertain how many social care staff took lease cars, and how many took cash alternatives. This would be investigated by the Director of Regeneration, Renewal and Recreation and the Director of Human Resources. This information would then be presented to the GP&L Committee and would form part of the next budget strategy.

 

The Chairman stated that no such report had been submitted to GP&L and he asked for a paper to be submitted if possible for the January meeting of the Contracts & Commissioning Sub Committee.
