I think it was because of the subject matter Eggy..............10 minute comfort break in the middle........and we couldn't take the papers outside the room until after the end!

Very interesting! I would hope some realistic time frames be attached to the recommendations, and more open accountability of those in the top positions.

Well that was a heck of a meeting yesterday! Extraordinary meeting of full council to hear the findings of the Max Caller report into governance at NCC and the chief financial officer’s report into the International business NCC has. Some of us have been asking for quite some time about this International business NCC has and even why the heck we were involved in a healthcare operation in China when there is so much to do much much closer to home! Anyway here is the meeting. With only about 30 mins to read through the report we were allowed one question at each presentation; mine were asking if it was a systems failure or a personnel failure or both and secondly if we have hundreds of thousands of pounds sitting in a unused business bank account, that should be put to better use! It was really disturbing to hear the extent of both but I have to say I think we have seen two female officers who have shown remarkable professionalism and stoicism to get the second item before full council and I would like to thank them for that! The first shows just what some of us have been faced with when trying to get our jobs done! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUVNDwajSBY

Sorry @Malcolm Robinson - I switched off after 30mins. I hope you got a tea break. I see there have been over 2,000 views of the Youtube video. Is that normal or just because it was an Extraordinary meeting of full council ?
