Councillor Mullaghan to move.
Minutes:
In accordance with Notice on the Agenda, Councillor Mullaghan proposed:
“The Council has recently established a process to agree a strategy for tackling poverty and inequality across the City and is in the process of setting up a joint public health unit with the Public Health Agency. The Council recognises that health and wellbeing are areas of public policy where inequalities can and do exist and agrees that a mechanism should be put in place to ensure that all relevant Council policies are assessed to ascertain to what extent they contribute to a reduction in health inequality.
The Council directs that a report in this regard be submitted to the Health and Environmental Services Committee as soon as practicable.”
The proposal was seconded by Councillor Attwood.
Prior to the Notice of Motion being considered, the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor (Councillor Long) reminded the Council that Standing Order 11(e) specified that, if a subject matter of any Motion of which Notice had been given comes within the province of any Committee, upon being moved and seconded, it shall stand referred without discussion to that Committee or such other Committee as the Council may determine for consideration and report.
Accordingly, the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor indicated that the matter would be referred to the Health and Environmental Services Committee without debate.
