Issue - meetings

To consider a progress report from the Chair of the Health Scrutiny Committee on the work undertaken so far by the Committee.

Members considered a report from Cllr Ian Cuthbertson as chair of the Health Scrutiny Committee which highlighted the activities and work to date of the Committee.

It was noted that the emphasis of the committee had changed slightly to that of the former Social Services & Health Scrutiny Board, in that its primary role was to scrutinise (NHS) health provision for York residents which would include the scrutiny of health provision by Adult Social Services.

The report included a review of the financial recovery plans of Selby and York PCT and the effect of the resulting changes on services to the people of York.  Members expressed their concern that the effect was as yet unknown and that a formal scrutiny of the recovery plan was needed once the plan was made public at the next PCT Board meeting.   It was expected that material would then be available for consideration.

RESOLVED:

That the update report and current position be noted.
