Issue - meetings

A member of the public in attendance at the meeting raised a question in regards to the short life working group being put in place to consider proposals for a Methadone clinic in Campbeltown. He represented Kintyre Service Users group and  questioned  if they could be included on the working group.

Charles Reppke replied that Argyll and Bute Council had been the recipient of the invitation.  However, he recognised the importance of service users being involved in the planning and delivery of services.  Councillor Philand reiterated this and stressed the importance of service users participation.

Councillor Semple requested clarification in regards to how Cllr Hay, Colville and Currie had voted in regards to the proposal to close 25 rural schools within Argyll and Bute.

Charles Reppke stated the Area Committee public question time, which should relate to council service issues, was not the correct  platform for this form of discussion.
