Councillors - Procedures when unable to perform duties.

The request was successful.

Dear Liverpool City Council,

I am writing to ascertain the following:

If a councillor is unable to perform their duties:

What procedure is in place to ensure the council 'day to day' activity remains functioning ?

Are the councillors subject to the same procedures as an employee of the council, when on a prolonged absence? for example - interviewed to ascertain if they can continue in their role?

In view of the current economic climate, where every pound makes a difference, at what point would the council feel it is in the best interests of the community (council tax payer) to request a councillor step down from their role(s)?

Do councillors have regular medicals to ensure they are fit for office?
If the councillors have medicals are they funded by the council or their political party, to which they have allegiance?

Yours faithfully,

Wayne Tully

Finance and Resources, Liverpool City Council
