Agenda item

The Scrutiny Officer introduced a report that set out the proposed Work Programme for 2019/20 and a list of potential items to be scheduled.

There was some discussion about the closure of a number of General Practice surgeries in Slough and Members asked if the Disability Task and Finish Group could recommend that provision be increased.  The Panel was advised that the issue was beyond the remit of the Group, as the location of a surgery was somewhat determined by its business model and often residents did not visit their nearest practice.  It was suggested that the Panel would find it useful to look at the health profile of wards in Slough to identify the health needs of residents.

Members requested that the following items be added the Work Programme:

10 September 2019

·  Primary Care Networks

·  Slough Health Issues by Ward

·  Integrated Care System (oral report)

15 October 2019

·  Director of Public Health’s Annual Report

20 November 2019

·  Keeping Well Strategy / Leisure Strategy (to include details about uptake of memberships at Langley Leisure Centre)

·  Adult Social Care Strategy and Budget

16 January 2020

·  Leisure Centre Fees and Charges

Resolved – That subject to the inclusion of the items listed above, the Health Scrutiny Panel Work Programme 2019/20 be approved, as set out in Appendix A of the report.
