The Committee received a report which established the four scrutiny panels and also set out the Membership for Overview & Scrutiny Committee and scrutiny panels for 2022/23. The report also included the terms of reference for OSC and the four panels. The report was introduced by Dominic O’Brien as set out in the agenda pack at pages 43 – 81.

• The Committee agreed to appoint Cllr Connor as a Haringey representative to the North Central London Joint Health Overview and Scrutiny Committee for 2022/23. Cllr Bevan agreed to give some further consideration as to who the other Haringey representative would be.
• The Committee queried whether the Housing & Regeneration Scrutiny Panel should be renamed in light of a change in the name of the housing directorate in a perceived shift in emphasis from the administration away from regeneration. The Committee recommended that in light of this, the Panel should have its named changed ASAP. Officers agreed to provide a written response to this point outside of the meeting. (Action: Clerk).
