Report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services.

The Board received a report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services which provided an overview of the City of London’s Exercise on Referral Scheme delivered by Fusion Lifestyle. The pilot project would run from January – March 2013 with the intention to extend the scheme past the pilot scheme.

The Board was informed that the target of 35 referrals was decided upon by looking at the number of patients currently in the scheme and the residents who have become members of the leisure centre that could be referred.

Members agreed that it was positive to see preventative measures being taken. Once the patient had completed the 12 week activity plan, they would be followed up after six and 12 months to find out if they had carried on the exercise plan. Fusion was looking at providing tailored membership to assist in continued engagement.
