Scrutiny panels
From time-to-time select committees recognise the value of task orientated scrutiny panels as a fruitful means of enabling effective scrutiny, particularly where there is an issue or area of policy that requires discreet and in-depth, but time limited, analysis or investigation.
When a scrutiny panel is set up, the select committee is responsible for establishing the scrutiny panel's brief and appointing its membership and chair. These are usually members of the select committee who express an interest or have the relevant skills and experience.
All scrutiny panels will be expected to spend some time project planning before beginning a scrutiny inquiry.
Reports prepared by the scrutiny panel, with assistance from supporting officers, will be presented to the parent select committee for approval, before they are presented to the executive.
The results from the 2006/07 scrutiny panels are available via the 2006/07 select committee annual report![(PDF [757.5Kb] opens in new window)](/images/PDF.gif)
