The minutes of the meeting of the Committee held on 23^rd July 2014, were approved as a correct record.  The Committee also noted the Action Update attached to the minutes and, arising from their consideration, the Chair, Councillor Mick Rooney, reported that the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) Working Group had produced a paper which had asked questions of the Commissioners, whose response had been reasonable, but was felt to be not as robust as it needed to be.  As a consequence, he had discussed this with Councillor Mary Lea, Cabinet Member for Health, Care and Independent Living, who had referred this matter to the Sheffield Health and Wellbeing Board where it was agreed that some of the issues raised had not been addressed.  In view of this, the Chair and Deputy Chair, Councillor Sue Alston, were to meet with Councillor Mary Lea, Councillor Jackie Drayton, Cabinet Member for Children, Young People and Families, and Jayne Ludlam, Executive Director of Children, Young People and Families, to take this forward.  The Chair also pointed out that a national review on CAMHS was taking place which mirrored this study.
