Primary Care Networks and the Neighbourhood Model

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

Minutes:

Members received a report of the Director of Community and Children’s Services in respect of the role of the Neighbourhood Model and its strategic fit within the City of London Corporation.  Members noted that the key aspiration for the model was to improve access to better quality health and social care for residents and create a sustainable economy.  The Chairman reminded Members that the City’s residents were served by two clinical commissioning groups (CCGs). Only the City and Hackney CCG was formally involved in Integrated Commissioning with the City. The City is working to enhance coordination with the Tower Hamlets CCG.

 

Members discussed the ongoing issues with space at the Neaman Practice and noted that a satellite surgery had been considered.  The Director reminded Members of increasing alternative methods for consulting GP’s, such as on-line consultations, which would need to be taken into consideration.  Officers explained how Primary Care Networks would bring various health services closer to practices but not all services would be available within all practices. 

 

RESOLVED, that – the report be noted.
