One of the more surprising aspects of the
budget proposals published earlier this month, is the very general way public health is treated. The total budget is listed as £18,848, but there is no systematic review of how this money is being used. Given that this has transferred to the Council recently, it strikes me as a core area for the Council to examine. It would be very surprising if there are no opportunities for synergies. If Brent had a functioning scrutiny system, I would think this would a number one target. I find it extraordinary that it is not.
