Decision Notice D180016MEM

The report presented an updated Environmental Health Services Enforcement Policy, which took into account revisions to the Code for Crown Prosecutors and Regulator’s Compliance Code and reflected the need to liaise with the Primary Authority when enforcement action was proposed.

Currently, cost recovery for repeat offenders was not included in the Policy due to the large number of enforcement issues included under environment health.  However, Members were advised that there might be opportunity to reconsider cost recovery in the future.

RECOMMENDED:  That the updated version of the Environmental Health Services Enforcement Policy (attached at Annex 1 to the report), be endorsed.
