9.2  The chair indicated his intention to hold a review of access to GPs. A resident asked if it would be possible to look at the ‘out of hours services’ and the chair responded positively. Another resident reported that she understands that SELDOC will continue as a cooperative, according to Southwark Pensioners Forum, and she intends to clarify this. A member noted that there will be a roll out of the 111 service and suggested that this be reviewed by the committee.
