Minutes:

The Sub Committee received a report of Vicky Hobart, Public Health Consultant (NHS North East London and City) and co-Chair City Shadow Health and Wellbeing Board updating Members on progress in the transition of responsibility for public health from the NHS to the City of London Corporation from 1st April 2013.

 

Members were informed that options were currently being explored between the City and Hackney regarding the compulsory appointment of a Director of Public Health.

 

Public health funding for City workers was highlighted as a concern but consultations on the funding formula, taking in to account commuters and the health services they require, were still taking place. A projected figure was expected to be released in January 2013.
