Agenda item - Discussion of next Task & Finish Group

53.1 The chair said that some good idea had already been sent to her, but she felt that some might be better as agenda items brought to the committee rather than Task & Finish Groups, and that the same might be the case with suggestions at the meeting. These would be raised with senior officers as potential committee agenda items.

53.2 The following were suggested by members:

·       Drugs policy

·       Youth strategy

·       Equitable rights to care

·       Accessibility of council services

·       Young people’s mental health

·       Cost of living support

·       Improving council consultations

·       Mental health across all age ranges

·       Ensuring consultations are reaching those who are digitally excluded

53.3 The chair said that young people’s mental health and improving consultations & engagement seemed to be preferred by members of the committee. She said that officers would go away and scope both ideas to bring them back for a vote. The other ideas would be fed into work programming.
