URGENT BUSINESS

Any other business which by reason of special circumstances the Chair agrees may be considered as a matter of urgency.

 

During Urgent business Members were reminded that the next meeting of the Health Scrutiny Committee, scheduled for 28 January, will include a partially joint session with the Children’s Scrutiny Committee. The meeting will consider reports on Neurodiversity Hubs and Pathways and Maternity Services, as these matters overlap both Health Scrutiny and Children and Young People Scrutiny remits. The Chair requested that Members of the Committee attend where possible. An invitation was circulated.
