To consider a letter dated 16 December 2008 from the Chairman of the Northern Burn Care Network inviting Chairs of Overview and Scrutiny Committees to an event to consider the provision of Burn Centres.

Minutes:

The Committee considered a letter dated 16 December 2008 received from the Chairman of the Northern Burn Care Network (NBCN).  The NBCN had been established approximately twelve months ago following a national review of Burn Care Services across England and Wales which had led to new National Burn care Standards.  The NBCN was looking at how the new National Burn Care Standards were to be met and were keen to engage Overview and Scrutiny in the process.   Stakeholder Engagement Events had been held and the Department of Health had advised that an event for Overview and Scrutiny Chairs should be held to assist in the engagement process.  The Committee was invited to consider whether the Chairman or Vice Chairman should attend the event which was on 2 February at Wakefield.

 

RESOLVED:  That the Vice Chairman, accompanied by the County Council’s Scrutiny Policy Manager, be nominated to attend the event organised by the National Burn Care Network on 2 February.
