8. EXECUTIVE WORK PLAN AND MANAGEMENT OF EXECUTIVE BUSINESS
This report addresses issues about managing the member level executive business of the Council. It includes issues about the meeting and administrative arrangements for meetings of the Council Executive (ie the term used to describe this Council's Cabinet).
9. HEALTH IMPROVEMENT AND MODERNISATION PROGRAMME 2002 - 2005
The Bath and North East Somerset Health Improvement and Modernisation Programme (HIMP) is a three year rolling programme updated annually. This paper presents the final draft of the HIMP for 2002-2005. The HIMP is one of the plans reserved for endorsement by the whole Council.
10. REVIEW 2002/3 OF THE CHILDREN'S AND YOUNG PEOPLE'S SERVICES PLAN 2001/2
The Children's and Young People's Services Plan is a mandatory requirement under The Children Act 1989. It should be a three-year plan but the 2001/2 Plan was for one year as suggested by the draft Government guidance issued in March 2000. Final guidance was issued in May 2001. This guidance required a plan for all children who could experience social exclusion, not just those children 'in need' under the terms of The Children Act 1989.
There are nine other plans for targeted groups of children which need to be considered as parts of the Children's and Young People's Services Plan and 13 further plans which include socially disadvantaged children within their targeted population. The Plan thus cross-referenced or summarised 22 other plans.
This Review updates the 2001/2 Plan strategic objectives and inserts new targets.
11. REPORTS OF EXPERIMENTAL OVERVIEW & SCRUTINY PANELS
The final reports of the 3 experimental overview and scrutiny reviews were presented to the Council on 11th April and referred to the Council Executive for consideration.
The Council has asked that the Council Executive produce a response to the recommendations by September, 2002, including an action plan setting out how the recommendations will be implemented. The Overview and Scrutiny workplan has included some capacity for the action plans to be monitored and reviewed.
The reports of each review are attached, together with a minority report, announced at the Council meeting, from a member of the Voter Interest Panel.
The purpose of this strategy is to put in place a framework for supporting elected members in a modernised Council, and for planning a seamless transition to the new Council following the May 2003 elections.
13. JOINT ARRANGEMENTS - FORMAL RATIFICATION
It is necessary for the Council Executive formally to approve the existing Joint Arrangements with other local authorities and other partner bodies insofar as they relate to the performance of executive functions on behalf of the Council.
