Minutes:

RESOLVED – That the public minutes and non-public summary of the meeting held on 16th July 2019 be agreed as a correct record.

 

Matters arising:

 

Access to chiropody services for elderly/less mobile clients

Following a question raised at the last meeting, the Assistant Director had liaised with the commissioner and provider of such services and Members suggested that they be invited to a future meeting.

 

Members were reminded of the Committee’s wider scrutiny remit, which did not include individual casework, and asked if the Director of Community and Children’s Services could provide a guidance note, for all Members, advising them how to progress casework on health matters generally.

 

Training Support for Carers

The Assistant Director advised meeting that training support was offered on an individual basis and tailored to specific needs. Details of the support groups and activities for carers will be shared with Members.

 

Potential Topics for Further Scrutiny

A Member suggested that the following be included:

·         GP services: The Chairman suggested, and Members agreed, that a representative of the Neaman practice should be invited to attend the Committee to give an update on delivery, sustainability and other issues at the Practice. It would provide an opportunity to address a question raised at the Community and Children’s Services Committee in relation to urgent appointments. An invitation will be extended to the Chairmen and Deputy Chairmen of the Community and Children’s Services and Health and Wellbeing Committees. 

·         A review of sexual health services in the City.

·         Reporting any untoward incidents within the health providers which work with the City Corporation.
