Then, in their submission, they went on to talk about the accountabilities and decision-making processes of each of those different groups. What they were saying, though, is decision making across both governing body and local boards is highly scrutinised by the public. If elected members participate in decisions where they have a conflict of interest or a closed mind, they say the public confidence in those decisions will be diminished. Then they talk about the implications in terms of the decisions themselves that may be exposed to challenge, which could be quite significant, in terms of the work streams, in terms of that decision making. For them, they saw that a maintenance of a register of interest is a key tool to ensure transparency, integrity of decisions, and to ensure the public can have trust and confidence in decision making.
