CABINET DECISIONS Cabinet Office The record of decisions of Cabinet held on 19 June 2008 was agreed as correct. 1 'HEALTHCARE FOR LONDON': REPORT OF THE JOINT David Coombs OVERVIEW & SCRUTINY COMMITTEE (JOSC) and Kevin Byrne, Deputy Councillor Mary O’Connor, Chairman of the Joint Overview and Chief Scrutiny Committee, presented the Committee’s report to the Cabinet Executive’s for consideration. Cabinet placed on record its thanks for the work Office undertaken by Councillor O’Connor. Jeff Maslen, DECISION Corporate Director Adult 1. That Cabinet welcomes the report of the Joint Overview & Social Care, Scrutiny Committee (JOSC) and notes the central role of Health and Hillingdon Council in delivering this groundbreaking health Housing scrutiny review. 2. That Cabinet notes the findings of the JOSC, in particular the areas of work that the JOSC recommend the NHS undertakes before it presents proposals for the reform of local health services (including further work to address concerns about the workforce, financial implications of reform and the impact on partners). 3. That in line with the JOSC’s recommendations, Cabinet ensures that Hillingdon Council is closely involved in Hillingdon Primary Care Trust’s work to develop a strategy for health services in Hillingdon (e.g. through examining potential co-location of health and social care services and analysing the impact of greater health care in the community on the Council’s social care services). 4. That Cabinet notes that the NHS is proposing to undertake further consultations on specific proposals for reforming health services in the near future. REASONS FOR DECISION Healthcare for London outlines a vision for developing health services in London and if implemented these could have a significant impact on Hillingdon residents. The JOSC report presents the findings of the in- depth scrutiny of the proposals undertaken by the local authorities in London, Surrey and Essex. Cabinet’s consideration of the JOSC report will help enable the Council LBH - Cabinet Decisions 15.07.08 Page iii to ensure Hillingdon PCT is undertaking the work recommended by the JOSC when the NHS is developing a strategy for providing health services in Hillingdon.
