Private - Whilst the Cabinet's decisions above are always made public, the officer report relating to this matter is not because it was considered in the private part of the meeting and contained information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the Authority holding that information) and the public interest in withholding the information outweighed the public interest in disclosing it in accordance with Section 100(A) and paragraph 3 of Part 1 of Schedule 12 (A) to the Local Government Act 1972 (as amended).
Special Urgency - in accordance with the Local Authorities (Executive Arrangements) (Meetings and Access to Information) (England) Regulations 2012, the Chairman of the Health and Social Care Select Committee agreed under Rule 16 of the Rules on Access to Information in the Constitution (Special Urgency Procedure) that the matter was urgent and could not reasonably be deferred, thereby waiving the ordinary public notice of this matter on the Forward Plan. The reason for urgency was to provide service continuity for residents. Additionally, the report relating to this decision had also been circulated less than 5 working days before the Cabinet meeting and it was agreed by the Vice-Chairman (in the Chair) to be considered as urgent. |
No additional items were considered by the Cabinet.
The meeting closed at 7:28pm.
