Report of the Town Clerk.

The Chair recommended that the number of co-opted Members on the Board should be extended from two Members to three Members.

The Town Clerk confirmed that there were outstanding vacancies for two co- opted Members and the NHS representatives listed within the constitution were external Members and not co-opted Members.

The Deputy Chair asked for further clarification within the Terms of Reference to ensure that it clearly stated who were the external Members and who were the co-opted Members since the wording was misleading. Officers highlighted that recent work from the Local Government Association could be used as feedback when drafting an updated version of the Board’s Terms of Reference.

RESOLVED, that – the Town Clerk clarify the Membership listed in the constitution, extend the number of co-opted Members to three and to return to the Health and Wellbeing Board with a revised wording of its Terms of Reference for approval.
