what is scrutiny?
Fundamentally:
scrutiny is based on the principle that someone who makes a decision…
…shouldn’t be the only one to review or challenge it
![Page 6: Scrutiny and the Voluntary and Community Sector Health Inequalities in London event 29 October 2014 Jessica Crowe Centre for Public Scrutiny](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d705503460f94a51fa1/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Local authority scrutinyAims and objectives
• A core element of local democracy
• Provide ‘critical friend’ challenge
• Enable the voice and concerns of the public to be heard
• Carried out by independent members
• Drive improvement in public services
• Gives councillors powers to review, scrutinise and make recommendations for any matter relating to the planning, provision and operation of health services locally.
• Scrutiny is at its most effective when it can influence and improve service design and delivery – CfPS’s ‘Return on investment’ model of scrutiny helps do this in an inclusive, citizen-focused way

Health scrutiny is able to connect different bits of the system – when it works well
• Using democratic mandate & legitimacy
• Scrutiny >> accountability
• Overview >> makes connections and helps see whole system
• It’s about relationships

An inclusive way to scrutinise and improve health inequalities
• Phase two of our Health Inequalities Programme developed and piloted a new approach with councils which provided:– Robust scrutiny based on impacts, outcomes, measurements, costs.
– Integrated Marmot Policy objectives into a review model and a council’s work.
– Focused on the wider determinants and their impact on health
– Forecast the impact of scrutiny recommendations
• Result was a model that embeds scrutiny as an effective public health tool and identified potential savings
• Extended beyond health inequalities: welfare reform & education governance

Background - Marmot Review ‘Fair Society, Healthy Lives’
Proposed an evidence based strategy to address the social determinants of health, the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age which can lead to health inequalities:
•Giving every child a good start in life
•Enabling all children, young people and adults to maximise their capabilities and have control over their lives.
•Creating fair employment and good work for all.
•Ensuring a healthy standard of living for all.
•Creating and developing healthy and sustainable places and communities.
•Strengthening the role and impact of ill health prevention.

Introducing the scrutiny modelWhat it helps areas to do
The model is based on five stages of a “scrutiny journey”, utilising a variety of tools:
1. Identifying and short listing topics
2. Prioritisation
3. Stakeholder engagement and scoping
4. Undertaking the review, measuring impact and calculating the Return on Investment
5. Making recommendations using ROI and influencing services
![Page 11: Scrutiny and the Voluntary and Community Sector Health Inequalities in London event 29 October 2014 Jessica Crowe Centre for Public Scrutiny](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d705503460f94a51fa1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Stage two
Prioritisation
Stage two – has three steps:
• Producing an Impact Statement
• Using a “scoring matrix” to choose the topic for review
• Considering what to measure
The impact statements help councillors focus on the policy objectives of the Marmot Review of Health Inequalities
![Page 12: Scrutiny and the Voluntary and Community Sector Health Inequalities in London event 29 October 2014 Jessica Crowe Centre for Public Scrutiny](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d705503460f94a51fa1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Stage 2 - Impact scoring matrix – case study
![Page 13: Scrutiny and the Voluntary and Community Sector Health Inequalities in London event 29 October 2014 Jessica Crowe Centre for Public Scrutiny](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649d705503460f94a51fa1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Stage three
Stakeholder engagement and scoping
Stage three has two steps:
• Stakeholder engagement
• Getting started with the review
The stakeholder engagement has
proved to be an innovative way to
engage a wider group of citizens
within the review and ensures that
Councillors focus on the whole system
