Report of the Chair of Healthwatch

The Committee received an update from the Chair of Healthwatch informing Members that two workshops had been held on the Care Act organised by Healthwatch City of London in partnership with the City of London Corporation. The aim of the workshops was to raise awareness of the Care Act, the first part of which came into force on 1 April 2015. Attendees at the workshops included City residents, users of social care and health services and staff from local care and advice services - with staff from the City.

Events had taken place at the Artizan Street Library and Community Centre on 30 March 2015 where there were 24 attendees and on 13 April 2015 at the Sir Ralph Perring Club where there were 38 attendees.

Resolved – that the update be received.
