Minutes:

The Director of Regulatory Services introduced a report informing Members of the official interventions for food hygiene and health and safety at work undertaken by the Council’s Environmental Health service during 2021/22 and predictions of service demands for 2022/23.

 

The Environmental Health Manager informed Members that the Council is required under the Food Law Code of Practice to submit a Service Plan to cover all areas of food law the Competent Authority has a duty to enforce. It was also noted that the plan must set out how the Competent Authority intends to deliver and resource official food controls and other official activities in its area.

 

Service plans are an important part of the process to ensure that national priorities and standards are addressed and delivered locally. It was addressed that the service plan was required to review the qualitative and quantitative performance of delivery against the plan, at least once a year. However, in line with the Food Standards Agency recovery plan, it was noted that no service plan was published for 2021/22, taking into account the impacts that the Covid 19 pandemic had on service delivery in this area.

 

Appendix one detailed the Commercial Team Service Plan for 2022/23. The plan confirmed the key activities of the Authority during the Covid 19 pandemic and its plans for the future in line with Food Standards Agency criteria.

 

During consideration of this item, the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was sadly announced. The Committee adjourned at 6:31pm, the Committee reconvened at 6:38pm to complete consideration of this item before ending the meeting.

 

It was moved by Councillor Mike Ratcliffe, seconded by Councillor Susan Hobson and

 

RESOLVED (Unanimously)

 

1.   That the service plan for the delivery of official controls detailed at Appendix 1 to this report be approved.

 

2.   That the operational sampling procedure contained within the service plan be approved.

 

The Chairman declared the motion CARRIED.
