Gwynedd Council Fail.: Cyngor Gwynedd Council - Meeting Concluded.

The Minutes of the Extraordinary meeting held on the 6th November, 2018,
have finally surfaced and have been presented to the Committee meeting
on the 31st January, 2019.



The meeting in November was held to receive the Care Inspectorate Wales
(CIW) Report AND the Annual Complaints Handling Report of the Supporting
Children and Families department.



Previous blog posts have publicised the emails sent to the members of
the Care Scrutiny Committee in which issues were raised with the
'accuracy' of the Complaints Report, authored and presented by Dafydd
Paul.



The minutes are, also, not an accurate record of the meeting and an
email was sent to the Democratic Services on the morning of the meeting
raising this point and asking for an explanation.



No reply was given and the meeting went ahead with the Minutes signed
and are now seen as an accurate record - they are not. I wonder if the
email was even presented to the Committee.

Something is very wrong within Gwynedd Council.
