The Chairman provided an update on the Future Oxfordshire Partnership (FOP) Scrutiny Panel meeting of the 22 January 2024 which he and Councillor Woodcock had attended as two of the three CDC appointed reports to the Panel.
The Committee was advised that the FOP Scrutiny Panel had considered reports on Healthy Place Shaping across Oxfordshire and the Wellbeing Board Strategy for Oxfordshire. The FOP Scrutiny Panel had recommended that appropriate Key Performance Indicators be used to measure the success of the initiatives and that there were relevant connections with the National Health Service for health care provision.
The update also included information on feedback from the main FOP Board to the Scrutiny Panel regarding Vision Zero. The Committee was informed that the Scrutiny Panel’s recommendations had been rejected by the main board but these had been re-submitted for further consideration.
Councillor Wood, the CDC representative on the Future Oxfordshire Partnership, advised the Committee that he had attended the FOP meeting earlier that day and that the Healthy Place Shaping initiative had been endorsed. Councillor Wood also advised that the FOP Scrutiny Panel had requested that officers initiate a review of its Terms of Reference prior to its first meeting in the 2024/25 municipal year.
