NOTES:
(a) Members are reminded of the need to consider whether they have any personal or prejudicial interests to declare on any of the items on this agenda and, if so, of the need to explain the reason(s) why they have any personal interest when making a declaration.
The Panel Secretariat officer will be pleased to advise on interest issues. Ideally their views should be sought as soon as possible and preferably prior to the day of the meeting, so that time is available to explore adequately any issues that might arise.

3. must not be defamatory, frivolous, vexatious or offensive;
4. must not require the disclosure of confidential or exempt information; and
5. must not refer to any matter of a personal nature.
At the meeting: Once the question has been approved, the questioner will be contacted to make arrangements to attend the meeting to put the question.
