Noted.

To confirm as a correct record of the proceedings the unrestricted minutes of the meeting of the Overview and Scrutiny Committee held on 22^nd July 2014 (To follow).

The Chair Moved  and it was:-

Resolved

At this juncture the Chair Informed OSC members that the Interim Monitoring Officer had received one valid request, from Real, the user-led organisation of disabled people in Tower Hamlets), to address them in respect of Agenda item 5.2 “Call-in of Mayoral Executive Decision 063: Contract Award - Direct Payment Support Service”.

VARIATION TO ORDER OF BUSINESS

The Chair also indicated that he thought it appropriate that the Order of Business be varied so that following receipt of the petition, consideration be given to the report, contained in the agenda before the OSC for consideration, which was the subject matter of the petition.

Accordingly the Chair Moved the following motion for the consideration of OSC members, and it was: -

Resolved

That the Order of Business be varied so that following the receipt of the petition, Agenda Item 5.2 “Call-in of Mayoral Executive Decision 063: Contract Award - Direct Payment Support Service” be considered next, and subsequently the OSC return to the order of business detailed in the agenda.

At this juncture the Chair informed members of the Cabinet that petition statement and signatory details had been Tabled by Real, a copy of which would be interleaved with the minutes.

Following receipt of the petition, points of clarification sought and given, the Chair thanked the petitioners for coming to address the OSC and then Moved the following motion for the consideration of OSC members and it was: -

Resolved

1.         That the following petition be formally received and noted: -

·      Mr M. Smith, Real, in respect of Agenda item 5.2 “Call-in of Mayoral Executive Decision 063: Contract Award - Direct Payment Support Service”

2.         That the points raised by the petition be given consideration during the OSC deliberation of the item of business to which the petition related; and the Cabinet member both for Resources and Health and Adult Services, respond to the petition when responding to the Call In; and

3.         That any outstanding issues raised by the deputation be referred to the Corporate Director Education Social Care and Wellbeing for attention and response in writing within 28 days, in accordance with the Authority’s Constitution (Part 4, Rules of Procedure, Section 4.1 Council Procedure Rules, Rule 19 Deputations).

To consider and adjudicate on the ‘Call In’ relating to the decision of the Mayor in Cabinet held on 23^rd July 2014 and Called In on 31^st July 2014 detailed at agenda item 5.1 below.

To consider and adjudicate on the ‘Call In’ relating to the decision of the Mayor outside Cabinet – (Mayoral Executive Decision published on 14^th August 2014 and Called In on 22^nd August 2014) detailed at agenda item 5.2 below.

The OSC considered the report “Cabinet Decision ‘Call In’ “Drug and Alcohol Action Team (DAAT) Commissioning Intentions” comprising of the report considered, and subsequent decision taken, by the Mayor in Cabinet on 23 July 2014, (published 25 July 2014) together with the reasons for “Call In”/ alternative course of action set out in the Call In requisition, signed by Councillors Rachael Saunders, Shiria Khatun, Danny Hassell, Sirajul Islam and Clare Harrisson, in accordance with the provisions of 4 of the Council’s Constitution (Call In requisition presented 31 July 2014 and later declared valid).

The Chair welcomed: Councillors Rachael Saunders, Clare Harrisson and Danny Hassell, three of five Councillors who had Called In the decision of the Mayor in Cabinet and also Councillors Alibor Choudhury (Cabinet Member for Resources) and Ohid Ahmed (Cabinet Member for Community Safety), Andy Bamber (Service Head Safer Communities, CLC) and Ms Rachael Sadegh (Joint Commissioning Manager for Tower Hamlets DAAT, Safer Communities, CLC) who were in attendance to respond to the “Call-in”.

Councillor Saunders presented the “Call-in”: summarising the reasons for “calling in” the Decision, outlining the key concerns of the “Call-in” Members, and setting out the action sought from the OSC to address these; also subsequently responding to questions from the OSC. Concerns of “Call-in” Members and OSC Members summarised as follows: -

·           Concern that the recommendations made by Officers had been modified in Cabinet to provide a role for the two Cabinet Members. Both the reason for the modification and the role of the two Cabinet Members were considered to be unclear.

·           The next stages of the commissioning/ procurement process and service standards were currently not transparent. There was insufficient information for the OSC to identify service standards and determine if the best balance of quality and cost would result from the proposed approach.

·           Consideration that the decision to revise the officer recommendations of Option 3 to agree a consortium approach would impact on service users, as instead of mitigating atomisation of provision with a small number of providers a plethora of local providers would result.

·           Member involvement in the commissioning/ procurement process, and the timing of this was of concern as the two should be separate. Also what was the rationale for Member involvement in this process but not in the process for Direct Payment Support Service (DPSS).

·           Clarification was sought and given as to the number of current service providers and those bidding and their local credentials. However the Chair requested that a list of contract value parameters and those organisations currently holding the contracts be circulated to all OSC members. Comment also that most of the organisations bidding were not local. Accordingly concern expressed, given the Cabinet Member for Resources’ stated purpose to protect local organisations, that only one of the relevant organisations, NAFAS, was a local organisation.

·           Concern that well known/ reputable organisations, some with a global reach, that were currently providing services were now proposed for decommissioning.

Councillors Alibor Choudhury, Abdul Asad, Denise Jones, Joshua Peck, John Pierce, and Md. Maium Miah declared an interest in this Agenda item,

as set out in the minutes at item 3 above.

Please note that the order of business was varied by resolution of the OSC earlier in the proceedings in order to allow this item to be considered following Agenda Item 4 “Petitions”, however for ease of reference the deliberations of the OSC, and subsequent decisions taken, are set out below in the order detailed in the agenda. Representations were made by Mike Smith, Chief Executive of Real, in respect of this agenda item, when presenting his petition.

The OSC considered the report “Mayoral Executive Decision ‘Call In’ Decision Log No 063 – “Contract Award – Direct Payment Support Service” comprising of the report considered, and subsequent decision taken, by the Mayor on 11 August 2014 (Mayoral Executive Decision published on 14 August 2014), together with the reasons for “Call In”/ alternative course of action set out in the Call In requisition, signed by Councillors Rachael Saunders, Amy Whitelock Gibbs, Danny Hassell, Helal Uddin and Clare Harrisson, in accordance with the provisions of 4 of the Council’s Constitution (Call In requisition presented 21 August 2014 and declared valid 22 August 2014).

The Chair welcomed: Councillors Rachael Saunders, Clare Harrisson and Danny Hassell, three of five Councillors who had Called In the decision of the Mayor outside Cabinet and also Councillors Alibor Choudhury (Cabinet Member for Resources) and Abdul Asad (Cabinet Member for Health & Adult Services), Ms Deborah Cohen (Service Head Commissioning & Health, ESCW) and  Keith Burns (Programme Director Special Projects – Commissioning & Strategy, ESCW) who were in attendance to respond to the “Call-in”.

Councillors Saunders and Harrisson presented the “Call-in”: summarising the reasons for “calling in” the Mayoral Decision, outlining the key concerns of the “Call-in” Members, and setting out the action sought from the OSC to address these as follows: -

·           Concern expressed that the Mayor proposed to award the contract for the Direct Payment Support Service (DPSS) to an organisation whose bid was approximately half of the expected annual contract value estimated by Officers; and therefore whether a service of an appropriate quality would be provided to users and the sustainability of this. With a big private company bidding so low questions arose as to how such a saving could be made and how it would impact on the service. Often the result was online service delivery or devolving delivery to call centres, with staff on poor conditions.

·           Referencing a number of points set out in the Call In requisition including:

o   That the current contract holder the local user-led organisation of disabled people, Real, employed disabled local residents whereas POhWer the proposed contract holder was not user led.

o   Real had scored more highly on quality than other bidders during the assessment of tenders, but was not to be awarded the contract.

·           Noted that respected advocacy organisations for the disabled community such as  ...  view the full minutes text for item 5.2

To receive an oral presentation from Mick Sweeny, Group Chief Executive One Housing Group, with a focus on performance.

The Chair Informed OSC members that Mick Sweeney, Chief Executive - One Housing Group (OHG), had been invited to this OSC meeting for the scrutiny spotlight to discuss serious concerns, held by Members across the borough, with housing management on estates in the borough managed by OHG. The Chief Executive had referred the invitation to John Gregory, Group Director of Housing Services - One Housing Group, who despite having been given the option to attend one of several OSC dates, and given clarification as to the concerns to be discussed, had declined the invitation to attend. Mr Gregory had responded that OHG would only meet with ward councillors and the Cabinet Member for Housing in line with normal protocols. The Chair commented that OHG was a large social housing provider in the borough there were very significant problems with its service delivery, and it was risible that OHG would not engage. The OSC would not be examining individual cases but addressing these widespread concerns.

A short discussion followed which focused on the following points:-

·           OHG was responsible for several housing schemes on the Isle of Dogs but local residents now referred to it as “None Housing” because of its perceived failure to deliver. The OSC did not want to look at individual cases but overall policy and approach borough-wide. It was likely that all LBTH councillors had questions to ask. It was outrageous that it had declined to attend the OSC.

·           There were issues with OHG delivery not just on the IOD or one estate, but borough-wide. Members had personal experience of raising issues by Member Enquiry, which OHG said they had dealt with but which residents said still existed. The Member Enquiry system was not working.

·           Clarification was sought and given by Mr Galpin, Service Head Legal Services, as to the legal and constitutional powers and provisions through which the OSC could require attendance.

The Chair proposed and it was agreed that the Chief Executive - One Housing Group, or one of his direct reports be formally requested to attend one of the next two OSC meetings, and that the Corporate Director Development & Renewal write to them expressing the dim view taken by the Authority that OHG was not willing to engage in this important partnership activity.

To consider the update report “Strategic and Resource Planning 2015-16” presented to Cabinet on 23^rd July 2014 (contained in the OSC agenda pack for information) and to receive an oral presentation from Mr Chris Holme, Acting Corporate Director Resources, with a focus on progress in 2015/16, and future challenges/opportunities.

Chris Holme (Acting Corporate Director Resources):

·           Introduced the report, which provided information on:

• 2014/15 Budget context.
• A review of assumptions on 2015/16 LBTH Budget position.
• Revision of the current Strategic Plan to reflect the Budget set in March and manifesto commitments of the Mayor elected in May.
• Current Government funding context and associated work to update MTFP to 2018/19.

·           Also gave a detailed presentation (PowerPoint slides Tabled, a copy of which would be interleaved with the minutes), which focused on the following points:

o   National context and Key challenges: Continuing Government austerity, macro-economic factors, ongoing welfare reform, demographic and Legislative driven demand for services, significant capital investment needs.

o   Implications for LBTH: £28million of savings 2015/16, Significant Budget gaps in 2016/17, 2017/18 & 2018/19 totalling £120-140million over the MTFP.

o   Testing LBTH MTFP assumptions particularly on RSG reductions

o   Progress to date on 2015/16 savings

o   Future options: Work to be undertaken to identify future savings.

Councillor Alibor Choudhury, Cabinet Member for Resources, was also in attendance for this item.

A discussion followed which focused on clarification being sought and given on the following points:-

·           The solutions being identified by Officers and Cabinet Member for Resources to the significant Budget challenges facing the Authority? Following a clear mandate to identify savings that met existing requirements of the Executive for leaner service delivery, smarter working, better asset usage, income optimisation and improved procurement, 100 saving options had been identified which could deliver savings of £32million for 2015/16. These would be the subject of consultation in the autumn and a report for Cabinet consideration in November setting out the core savings options, together with the outcome of consultation and equality impact assessment. A further report in January to set out the other savings options. Officers were confident the November report would enable delivery of £20million savings, a healthy reserve balance and a further £14million to be delivered in 2016/17. Beyond that transformational change was required and this was currently the subject of much Officer consideration with a strategic services review to follow examining all services in context of:

o   Harnessing economic growth and alternative investment

o   Shifting focus more to preventative services

o   Redesign processes to optimise technical advances and continue to reduce transaction costs

o   Alternative delivery models where clear savings are achievable without impacting service provision

o   Maximising the use of assets and identifying opportunities for disposal

o   Optimising income generation

o   Workforce efficiency through both increased productivity and further consolidation 

It was important to emphasise the Administration’s priorities in considering the Budget: providing support to those impacted by welfare reform, young people the elderly and vulnerable who were struggling to cope with Government austerity. There were a range of savings options and it was important to consult with anyone impacted by these; and the November Cabinet report would set out the outcome together with a direction of travel to meeting savings requirements.

To appoint a Member drawn from its membership or that of the Health Scrutiny Panel to the remaining vacancy to represent the authority on the Inner North East London Standing Joint Health Overview and Scrutiny Committee (INEL SJHOSC) for the 2014/15 municipal year.

The OSC will receive an oral report on the nomination received from the political group Tower Hamlets First, made in accordance with the political proportionality rules as set out in INEL JHOSC Terms of Reference.  No nomination was made at the last OSC meeting (22 July 2014) and therefore the appointment remains vacant.

Frances Jones, One Tower Hamlets Service Manager, gave a short oral report summarising key points for the OSC, as follows:

The OSC (22 July) had received a report informing it of the background to the establishment of Inner North East London Standing Joint Health Overview and Scrutiny Committee (INEL JHOSC), and had appointed two Members, to represent the Authority for the 2014/15 municipal year, as nominated by the Labour group in accordance with the political proportionality rules as set out in INEL JHOSC Terms of Reference. No nomination had been received from the Tower Hamlets First (THF) group, for the place allocated to it, at that point and therefore the appointment remained vacant.

The Health Scrutiny Panel (HSP) had been delegated to make the last remaining appointment, however it was now understood that the next meeting of the INEL JHOSC was due to be held prior to the next HSP meeting. To ensure full representation of the Authority at the INEL JHOSC, the OSC was therefore invited to appoint to the remaining INEL JHOSC vacancy for the 2014/15 municipal year, in accordance with the nomination received from the THF group: Councillor Mahbub Alam.

The Chair Moved and it was: -

Resolved:

1.     That the update contained in the oral report be noted; and

2.     That Councillor Mahbub Alam be appointed to represent the Authority on the Inner North East London Standing Joint Health Overview and Scrutiny Committee (INEL SJHOSC) for the 2014/15 municipal year.

The OSC will receive an update following the revised allocation of places agreed by the full Council (30^th July 2014) following the review of proportionality.

The Chair Informed OSC members that:

·           At the full Council AGM (11 June), the proportionality, establishment of the Committees and Panels of the Authority (including the OSC) and appointment of Members thereto had been approved. However following the revised allocation of places agreed by the full Council (30 July) further to the review of proportionality, required after the Blackwall and Cubitt Town election (3 July), a change to the membership of the OSC had been required comprising the deletion of one THF group nominated member with a Labour group nominated member. The Interim Monitoring Officer’s delegate had been notified of the Labour group nomination (Councillor Dave Chesterton) on 29 August.

·           In view of this change to the membership of the OSC, and following Legal advice, the OSC was able to re-allocate one of the Scrutiny Lead appointments made at a previous OSC meeting (8 July) to reflect this change in proportionality.

Councillor Denise Jones proposed for the consideration of OSC members that Councillor Dave Chesterton replaces Councillor Md Maium Miah as Scrutiny Lead for Development and Renewal for the remainder of the Municipal Year 2014/15. Councillor Asma Begum seconded the motion. There being no other nominations it was: -

Resolved (on a vote of 5 for none against)

1.     That the information contained in the oral update be noted; and

2.     That Councillor Dave Chesterton replaces Councillor Md Maium Miah as Scrutiny Lead for Development and Renewal for the remainder of the Municipal Year 2014/15.

Frances Jones, One Tower Hamlets Service Manager, introduced and summarised key points in relation to the draft OSC Work Programme Tabled for discussion, a copy of which would be interleaved with the minutes.

The Chair commented that the work programme reflected the developmental discussions with Members to date, and then Moved, and it was:-

Resolved

1.     That the substantive content of the OSC Work Programme 2014/15 be approved;

2.     That the OSC Work Programme be revised to:

·       Include timescales for completion of the scrutiny activities.

·       Detail Councillor Dave Chesterton as the Scrutiny Lead Member for the scrutiny challenge session “Member involvement in Section 106 decisions and the quality of Section106 and CIL funded social housing”.

and subsequently presented to the OSC for noting on 30 September.

·           Outlined that there would be an examination of governance and election processes incorporating liaison with the Electoral Commission, a comparative review with other boroughs eg LB Southwark and examination of the template used by John Williams (SH Democratic Services), with an update to next meeting. The chair commented that this matter was to be the topic of a spotlight later in the Municipal Year. Frances Jones undertook to liaise with John Williams with regard to scheduling the spotlight on this matter in the OSC Work Programme 2014/15.

The Chair proposed and it was agreed that Old Ford Housing Association and therefore the Chief Executive of Circle Anglia (the owning group) be invited to attend the November or December OSC for a spotlight on housing providers. He also concurred with a Member proposal that if there  ...  view the full minutes text for item 8.

To consider and agree pre-decision scrutiny questions/comments to be presented to Cabinet.

No pre-decision questions submitted to the Mayor in Cabinet [03 September 2014].

To consider any other unrestricted business that the Chair considers to be urgent.

The Chair commented with reference to OSC consideration of the Reference from Full Council “Investigation into the sale of Old Poplar Town Hall” on 22 July:

That he had expressed the view that it was the OSC's constitutional right to receive independent advice on the disposal process, should it consider it necessary, and had requested this should be permitted in future. He informed OSC members that there had been circuitous dialogue between the Interim Monitoring Officer and himself regarding this without result. Accordingly he proposed for the consideration of OSC members and it was agreed that the OSC formally request an independent external advisor on the law and process relating to the disposal of assets by local authorities and this be actioned/ delivered in the next two weeks.

That given the differential between the sale value and the current value of Old Poplar Town Hall the OSC had considered that an independent valuation should be undertaken. This had been undertaken by the same company that had undertaken the valuation for disposal. He had written to the Interim Monitoring Officer expressing the view that this was a clear conflict of interest and also giving his rationale. He had requested, on behalf of the OSC, that the IMOcommission a further piece of valuation work, ensuring that it is done by a company with no prior interest or involvement in the sale of Poplar Town Hall. Unfortunately the IMO had advised him that he was not authorised to make this request and accordingly proposed for the consideration of OSC members and it was agreed to request that an independent valuation, as described, be carried out within a month. In the intervening period the Chair also proposed that a report be presented to the OSC to be held on 30 September in respect of the significant amount of outstanding information requested from Officers (at least 8 outstanding requests) and including the various iterations of the Mazars report.

A short discussion followed which focused on consideration that a mechanism was required through which the Chair could, on behalf of the OSC, progress matters requiring Officer action between OSC meetings, in order to obviate the need to seek formal resolutions of the OSC at their next meeting which resulted in unnecessary procedural delay.
