Agenda item

7.1  Councillor Rebecca Lury, chair of the Health, Adult Social Care, Communities & Citizenship Scrutiny Sub-Committee, introduced the sub-committee’s final report on access to healthcare services.  In response to members’ questions she agreed that appointments systems had been highlighted as a problem by the sub-committee’s own survey and NHS England’s survey.  NHS England was looking at ways to standardise appointments systems.

7.2  A member suggested that recommendation 14 should make reference to the Joint Strategic Needs Assessment.

RESOLVED:

That, with the amendment to recommendation 14 suggested above, the scrutiny report be submitted to appropriate bodies for consideration.
