RESOLVED: TO PUT FORWARD TWO CANDIDATES ON THE SHORTLIST FOR HEAD OF ADULTS, HEALTH AND WELLBEING The Corporate Director reported that three applications had been received for the post, with two matching the essential criteria.

None to note
The Chair signed the minutes of the previous meeting of this committee, held on 21 February 2024, as a true record.
RESOLVED to exclude the press and public from the meeting during the discussion on the following item due to the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in paragraph 12, Section 4, Schedule 12A, Local Government Act 1972. This paragraph is relevant as the report contains information about specific individuals who have the right to privacy. There is no public interest that calls for disclosing personal information about these individuals. Consequently, the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information.

Councillors must say when they have a personal link to something being discussed, such as a job, a property or a family member. A prejudicial interest is one strong enough that the councillor usually leaves the room and takes no part.
