Overview and scrutiny can 'call-in' a decision which has been made but not yet implemented. Subject to certain safeguards, this allows a separate group of councillors to consider whether a decision has been made properly and that the decision maker has considered all relevant factors.
The cabinet meet collectively in public on a monthly basis, to make decisions in line with the council's overall policies and budget. Individual cabinet members also hold meetings on average once a month when they make decisions with regards to their specific portfolio.
