Agenda item

Report of the City and Hackney Pathfinder Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) in partnership with City of London Corporation.

The Board considered a report of the City and Hackney Pathfinder Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) in partnership with the City of London Corporation on the mapping of health services in the City of London.

Paul Haigh introduced the report and informed the Board that the information pulled together from the Neaman and Spitalfields practices, alongside hard contractual information, confirmed the muddle of services and equitable access issues. Three recommendations were agreed when the CCG discussed the report at its Clinical Executive meeting on 10 October.

The Board was informed of a generic email address for the CCG that would be available in all practices, including Spitalfields, in order to provide clarity on the services offered.

The Assistant Director Strategy & Performance highlighted the need to keep informed of Tower Hamlet’s CCG intentions for the future of the City Wellbeing Practice outreach sessions. It was noted that the City CCG email address could also be made available at that practice.

Members noted that the Corporation worked closely with the independent schools within the City in regards to safeguarding arrangements. Discussion took place regarding funding arrangements and the moral pressure that would be placed on schools in regards to good practice.

RESOLVED: That the updated recommendations be circulated to Health and Wellbeing Board Members by Paul Haigh.
