The chair referred members to the summary which had been circulated with the agenda. This listed all the current and potential scrutiny task groups and provided a brief summary of each. He did not intend to go through this in detail and there were no further questions raised by the committee. 

A draft terms of reference for a proposed UBICO review had been circulated. These had been circulated to all the members of the task group for comment and they were due to hold their first meeting on 17 October 2012. Councillor Fletcher, as a member of the working group, was satisfied with the terms of reference and regretted that she would have to give her apologies for the first meeting.

A draft terms of reference for a proposed youth services review had been circulated. These had been discussed at the last meeting of the scrutiny task group in September. Councillor Driver, as a member of the group, said she was happy to accept the terms of reference. Councillor Fletcher highlighted the excellent work that was being done by CCP and Richard Gibson in her ward and anything that can be done to encourage young people to participate in such projects should be encouraged. As there were no other comments the terms of reference were agreed.

Resolved that the terms of reference for the scrutiny task groups UBICO and Youth Services be agreed.
