Why does this report require a Member decision? The OSB has delegated powers to manage the work of Scrutiny and, if appropriate, it can either undertake the work itself or delegate to individual Scrutiny Panels. One of the main duties of OSB is to hold the Executive to account by considering the forthcoming decisions of the Executive and decide whether value can be added by Scrutiny considering the matter in advance of any decision being made. This would not negate a Non-Executive Member’s ability to call-in a decision after it has been made. Page 3 1 What decision(s) are being asked for?
