DECISION 1. That Cabinet notes the information provided outlining the work undertaken by the External Services Scrutiny Committee. 2. That Cabinet adopts the following recommendations of the External Services Scrutiny Committee: a. That Cabinet acknowledges the vital role scrutiny can play in achieving the Council’s objectives and that the function must continue to be adequately resourced for this contribution to be effective. b. That Cabinet ensures that there is an open dialogue between the Council and PCT over future estates strategies for each organisation. In particular, we ask Cabinet to ensure that the Council fully participates in discussions over the future of health services in north Hillingdon and how these can be integrated with social care where appropriate. c. That Cabinet notes the potential significant changes to the management of the PCT and asks officers to keep it fully informed of the implications so that it can comment to the PCT as appropriate. d. That Cabinet notes the latest position regarding the redevelopment of Hillingdon Hospital and using its community leadership role does everything possible to ensure Hillingdon residents have a modern high quality hospital. e. That following successful outcomes of promoting joint working between disability and carers voluntary sector groups Cabinet considers whether this initiative can be expanded across the sector. REASONS FOR DECISION To note the scope of the Committee’s community leadership work, and to ensure Cabinet is fully aware of the latest position of the NHS in Hillingdon and takes action as appropriate. LBH - Cabinet Decisions 18.01.07 Page 2 ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED AND REJECTED Cabinet could have requested further information on any of the issues raised in the report. 2 HILLINGDON’S CHILDREN’S CENTRE PROGRAMME ROGER TURNER, ASSISTANT DECISION DIRECTOR LIFELONG That Cabinet delegates authority to the Cabinet Members for LEARNING Education & Children’s Services and Finance and Business Services to : 1. Agree the development of the following 4 additional Children’s Centres and the capital costs associated with two of the proposed centres: • The Sure Start Townfield Local Programme based at Barra Hall (£53k) • The McMillan Early Excellence Centre (nil capital cost) • Harlington Community School Daycare Nursery (nil capital cost) • Uxbridge College Hayes Campus (£106k) 2. Agree the plans to allocate revenue grant as set out in the paper. REASONS FOR DECISION To facilitate the implementation of the Every Child Matters: Change for Children agenda, the new legal duty to be imposed by the Childcare Act and fulfilment of the objectives stated in the council plan and the Children and Young People’s Plan. Delegating authority to the Cabinet Members to make a final decision will enable a greater level of detail to be considered on each of the proposed centres. ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED AND REJECTED Not to comply with the duties stated in the Childcare Act and not to draw down the capital and revenue Central Government grants. 3 HAYES STATION – IMPROVEMENTS TO ACCESS NIGEL CRAMB, COMMUNITY RESOURCES Councillor Mo Khursheed spoke as Ward Councillor in support of the MANAGER proposals. DECISION 1 That the Cabinet endorses and welcomes the proposals LBH - Cabinet Decisions 18.01.07 Page 3 to improve access and facilities at Hayes station. 2 That the Cabinet agrees to the proposal for the Council to enter into a legal agreement with other partners to deliver the project. REASONS FOR DECISION The Council has held funds secured under section 106 agreements for some considerable time. The funds have been committed to improving public transport facilities and specifically at Hayes station. Due to the significant costs involved, the funding has up till now been insufficient to deliver a feasible scheme. However the opportunity now presents to commit section 106 and attract additional funds, which will enable a scheme improving disabled access and associated improvements to the station. It is unlikely that an opportunity to attract funding and the support of a range of partners will present itself again therefore agreement to the proposals is strongly recommended. ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED AND REJECTED To not pursue the project.
