Agenda item

The Panel considered a draft 2014/15 work programme setting out suggested priorities and topics for the year ahead, based on discussions at previous meetings of the Panel and requests from individual Members and officers.

It was noted that the report due for consideration at the July meeting about GP Access and the Prime Minister’s Access Challenge Funding was being prepared by the Slough CCG.  It was requested that the report should include a response to the Panel’s recommendations (made as part of the Accident & Emergency Review) about GP access.  With regard to the Care Bill (now the Care Act 2014), it was noted that items were proposed for consideration at the October meeting (relating to the impact of the Better Care Fund Programme) and the November meeting, as well as mandatory training for Council Members on the Care Act taking place on 2^nd July 2014.  It was also proposed to bring forward a report on the Diabetes Strategy to the October meeting.  There were also a number of items yet to be programmed.

Resolved -  That subject to the points above, the work programme be noted.
