Issue - meetings

The Committee gave consideration to the Work Programme and the following points arose:

·         At its meeting in May the Committee would scrutinise the Quality Accounts from Mid Cheshire NHS Trust. The Committee was advised to consider the accounts closely in the light of the recent problems experienced at Mid Staffordshire NHS Trust which had been reported nationally.

·         The Ageing Well Programme performance review would be available in June 2013.

·         The Leisure Services and Open Spaces items were considered to be the responsibility of the Corporate Scrutiny Committee and would be removed from the work programme.

·         Mental Health scrutiny needed to be added to the work programme as this was no longer being carried out by a Cheshire and Wirral Joint Scrutiny Committee.

·         The Committee did not require regular updates on North West Ambulance Services performance issues to be included in the work programme.

·         The Director of Public Health Annual Report would have a different format to previous years and was still being developed. This would not be available for the April meeting.

RESOLVED – That the Work Programme be updated.
