Delegated Decision
Date: 17 March
2020

|
Decision: In the absence of national guidance,
teams are to be stood down from prioritising the completion of statutory
annual data returns effective immediately. The delegation for this decision is
detailed within the Scheme of Delegation in the Council’s Constitution |
|
Key Decision: Yes |
|
Reason(s) for Decisions: The COVID-19
response has required many employees to be redeployed to support the response
or to complete their normal role with increased levels of staff sickness.
This may result in statutory returns not being prioritised for completion
within normal timescales. |

Alternative options considered

To complete
statutory returns within normal timescales. This was rejected as it would
