GP Services in Southwark – NHS Southwark Clinical Commissioning Group
Rosemary Watts from Southwark NHS was present to talk about access to local services and for primary care and to look at ways in which these services would soon be easily accessible due to change to the primary care services in general.
There has been a programme of engagement that had taken place in the community over the last few years and one of the proposals for extended primary care was to have GP appointments up to 8.00pm in the evening particularly for urgent and immediate problems. Both services would have access to a patient’s notes and the first point of call would be the GP surgery. If that was not possible people could contact the extended access clinics which allow a patient to be put through an appointment system.
Rosemary said it was important for people to be registered so they could access these services. These services were available to everyone. She agreed to be available during the break to respond to people’s queries.
Success and achievements in Peckham and Nunhead
The chair announced the names of people and organisations that were given a civic award at Southwark Cathedral in May 2015 in recognition of their hard work, success and achievement within the community. Each person was applauded and handed a certificate of achievement from the chair. For further information contact The Mayor's Office on 020 7525 7303 or mayors.office@southwark.gov.uk
A special thanks of appreciation was handed to Bradley who cycled from the borough to Brighton.
11,000 new council homes - consultation on design
Ebony, Riddell Bamber, community participation manager was present to talk about the borough’s commitment to building 11,000 new council homes by 2043 with the first 1,500 homes being delivered by 2018.
The council wanted the views of the local community about these new homes in order to make neighbourhoods great places to live.

Southwark Group of Tenant Organisations (SGTO)
Eddie Wilcox, Co-organiser from Southwark Group of Tenants Organisations (SGTO) spoke about the football tournament at Homestall Road, SE22 which was aimed at young people aged from 11 to 13 years and 14 to 16 years boys and girls.
Each part of the borough was asked to take part in the tournament and the group wanted to welcome more teams from local housing estates to take part in the tournament.
This important programme would also help promote healthy living. SGTO want to encourage parents to be involved as well so that young people could represent their area and have a sense of pride. This community led initiative was to help young people broaden their participation and create community cohesion.
