The Committee considered a report which provided background and context in relation to Outcomes Based Accountability which was a key methodology that the Authority had adopted to ensure it maintained a clear focus on priority outcomes for Dorset residents and communities. 

Also included within the report was a sample scoping document and report which had been prepared, for illustrative purposes only, in order for members to see how a planning and scoping document could look in relation to helping support the future overview and scrutiny review work of the Committee. The scoping document had been trialled by Councillors Biggs and Canning for an area of spotlight scrutiny, relating to parking arrangements in Dorchester,  and they reported that it had proven very helpful.
