At the request of the Chair, three reports, which had been to the Audit and Risk Management Committee had been submitted for the Committee’s consideration.

The Chair informed the Committee that the Audit and Risk Management Committee had expressed the view that consideration of two of the reports, this one and ‘Charging Arrangements for Supported Living in Wirral 1997 to 2003’ should be deferred until such time as a final update report had been resubmitted to the Audit and Risk Management Committee.

With the agreement of the Committee consideration of this item was deferred.
