The following comments were made/issues raised:

·         Members of the Committee acknowledged the progress that had been made.

·         It was noted that contracts had not been updated for Bereavement Services, was there a system in place to review this? Members were advised that this was a 20 year contract, so it wasn’t that it hadn’t been updated more the duration of the contract.

·         A short discussion took place about the process of continuing professional development.

RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
