Agenda item

This is the draft final report arising from the Committee’s work on their ‘End of Life Care Review – The Use and Effectiveness of DNACPR Forms’. Members are asked to identify any amendments they may wish to make prior to the report and associated recommendations being presented to Cabinet for consideration.

Members considered the draft final report for the Committee’s ‘End of Life Care Review-The Use and Effectiveness of DNACPR Forms’.

The Chair suggested that the first and second recommendations in the report should be amended to reflect the lack of region wide organisations as NHS North Yorkshire and York would cease to exist at the end of March 2013. It was therefore suggested that the Vale of York Clinical Commissioning Group (VOYCCG) take the lead on implementing these two recommendations. Members thanked the Scrutiny Officer for her hard work during the review.

RESOLVED:                (i)       That the report be noted and agreement given to forward this to Cabinet for consideration.

(ii)      That Recommendations 1 and 2 be amended by way of deleting the reference to NHS North Yorkshire and York and allocating the lead for these recommendations to VOYCCG.

REASON:                     In order to complete this scrutiny review.
