Select Committee Reports

Each policy overview committee and the NHS Overview and Scrutiny Committee can appoint a time-limited select committee to look at specific policy issues in depth through 'topic reviews'.

Select committees are like small sub-committees, are politically balanced and hold their meetings in public.
