Issue - meetings

(Report by Mr Peter Gilroy, Chief Executive)

            (1)       The report summarised the outcomes and progress on matters arising from the meeting of Cabinet Scrutiny on 12 December 2007 and set out progress on the current programme for Select Committee Topic Reviews.

            (2)       Mr Ferrin advised that SE Trains had not responded to our request for the inclusion of rail travel within the Freedom Pass Scheme and it had been decided to wait until the extension of the scheme countywide was completed before a further approached was made to SE Trains.  Mr Badman confirmed that foster carers do receive allowances to cover costs, if required, for the £50 Freedom Pass.

            (3)       RESOLVED that the report be noted.
