Members received a presentation from the East London Health and Care Partnership (ELHCP), presenting their local response to the NHS Long Term Plan and next steps.  Members noted that this would also receive Scrutiny at the Joint Inner North East London Scrutiny Committee.  It was on today’s agenda due to the Plan’s timescale for submission.

Members noted the priority in relation to workforce and expressed concerns about pressures on existing staff that may be exacerbated by the larger footprint of the ELHCP. In response, the officers confirmed the CCG’s commitment to promoting work/life balance and were keen to explore pathways from local schools into healthcare professions. 

In concluding, Members noted that the plan was iterative, would be subject to regular monitoring and further suggestions were welcomed. 

RESOLVED, that – the report be noted.
