The Chairman shall propose that the minutes of the meeting of this committee held on 25.2.16 be signed as a true record

The Chair signed the minutes of the previous meeting of this committee, held on 25 February 2016, as a true record.

The Chairman will propose to exclude the press and the public from the meeting during the discussion on the following items due to the likely disclosure of exempt information as defined in paragraph 12, Part 4, Schedule 12 A, of the Local Government Act 1972. This paragraph is relevant because the report includes information relating to specific individuals who have a right to privacy. There is no public interest that calls for disclosing personal information about these individuals. Consequently, the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information.

To consider the Chief Executives report

(copy for Committee members only)

Following the early retirement of Mrs Gwenan Parry, Head of Adults, Health and Well-being Department, due to long-term illness, a report was submitted by the Chief Executive recommending that the Committee considered two options to fill the post.

The opportunity was taken to thank Mrs Gwenan Parry for the service she provided for Gwynedd residents and she was wished all the best for the future.

Following a discussion about the options, whether to advertise externally or confirm Mr Aled Davies to the post permanently (who had been in the post on a temporary basis for 18 months), it was proposed and seconded to appoint Mr Aled Davies as the Head of Adults, Health and Well-being Department on a permanent contract.

IT WAS UNANIMOUSLY RESOLVED TO CONFIRM MR ALED DAVIES TO THE POST OF HEAD OF ADULTS, HEALTH AND WELL-BEING DEPARTMENT ON A PERMANENT BASIS

Following the decision, it was noted that the post of Head of Regulatory Department would now become vacant and there was a need to proceed to fill the post by advertising in the usual way.
