1. Introduction, Apologies and Substitutions
1.1 Apologies were received from Darren Millar. There was no substitution.
2. Health and Social Care Committee - Ways of working
2.1 The Committee noted its dual legislative and policy scrutiny role and noted the Business Committee’s decision to allocate one and a half days every fortnight to the Committee to schedule its activity.
2.2 The Committee agreed to consult with external bodies over the summer recess on its ways of working and possible future inquiry topics.
3. Health and Social Care Committee - Discussion of issues within the portfolio and consideration of the forward work programme
3.1 The Committee agreed that it would invite the Minister for Health and Social Services and the Deputy Minister for Children and Social Services to attend the meeting on 13 July to provide an overview of their portfolios and priorities. They would then be invited to attend a more detailed scrutiny session at the start of the autumn term.
3.2 The Committee agreed that it would launch an inquiry before the summer recess, and the Research Service would provide a paper for the next meeting, scoping potential inquiries. This paper would be based on the topics suggested by Members and the recommendations of legacy reports published by Third Assembly committees.
3.3 The Committee would consider its longer term work programme in the autumn, when the Government’s legislative programme had been announced.
