Matters Arising

Value for Money Benchmarking Report

Those present suggested that this report should be received at the next meeting of the Sub-Committee.

The Assistant Commissioner informed Members that following discussion with the Commissioner, consultation on this report would occur with the Chamberlain and the Town Clerk. He suggested as part of this report, an external body could be employed to provide an audit and scrutiny function to the Force to ensure sufficient rigour and scrutiny was underway. It was noted that HMIC Value for Money profiles were not helpful in this area due to the size and nature of the Force.

The Chairman remarked that it was important that the Sub-Committee was able to demonstrate progress in this area.
