Health, Wellbeing and Local Government Committee

Inquiry into Local Government Scrutiny

The Committee undertook an inquiry into the progress made in the area of local government scrutiny and overview in Wales.

In 2004 the former Local Government and Public Services Committee (LGPS) Committee produced a Report on The Operation of the New Political Management Structures in Local Government which contained recommendations for the Assembly Government and Local Government about strengthening the scrutiny role of non-executive councillors.

The Health, Wellbeing and Local Government Committee reviewed the progress made in implementing the recommendations of the 2004 report and assessed what further developments were necessary to improve the quality of scrutiny and overview in local government.
