Report of the Chair of Healthwatch City of London.

The Sub Committee received a report of the Chair of Healthwatch City of London which had previously been discussed at the Health and Wellbeing Board on 31^st January 2014.

Members were concerned that a low response rate had been received to the Healthwatch City of London GP survey and Members agreed with Board Members that the survey should be more interactive to capture as many opinions as possible. It was noted that Institutional CUREiosity, the independent company used to gather patient feedback for the Out of Hours Service, would form part of the revised survey.

Members also agreed that it would be useful to have two separate reports in future; one for the Health and Wellbeing Board to consider strategic health issues and the other for the Health and Scrutiny Sub Committee to consider scrutiny issues, though Members wanted to be kept updated as to the concerns being considered by both.
