Health Scrutiny Forum Minutes 2 HARTLEPOOL BOROUGH COUNCIL Health Scrutiny Forum – Minutes – 10 January 2013 3. Teesside Positive Action. In terms of any services they could not provide, service users were signposted to other organisations. A representative from Teesside Positive Action, who was in attendance, referred to the limited capacity for funding and the need to extend provision in as many venues as possible. In response to concerns raised by Members regarding the potential impact of funding reductions in this area, the representative advised that whilst clinical screening tests were available as required, there was no funding available in terms of prevention and awareness raising. A representative from the Wharton Trust advised that sexual health advice and teenage pregnancy support was provided to the 13 plus age range. However, due to limited resources, support was limited. In the discussion that followed Members debated the importance of sexual health advice and the potential reasons for the higher than average teenage pregnancy rates in the town. A query was raised as to the level of awareness raising in schools given the potential reduction in support and advice from youth facilities following closures in the town. The Head Teacher from Manor College of Technology, who was in attendance as a representative for local schools, stated that the number of groups providing sexual health advice in schools had reduced resulting in a reliance on teachers to bridge the gap and provide support and advice in this regard. A Member emphasised the importance of repeated sexual health education sessions in schools and raised concerns regarding the transfer of responsibility to teachers in relation to sexual health advice and support, the disadvantages of which were discussed at length. The Head Teacher provided details of a recent joint sexual health programme that had been delivered in schools, the benefits of which were outlined. Reference was made to the success of the APAUSE Programme and disappointment was expressed as to why such a successful programme had been withdrawn. The Forum was advised that the programme had been withdrawn approximately 3 to 4 years ago and the reasons for withdrawal were cost/resource related, details of which were provided. Following further debate regarding the success of the programme, the Forum requested that further details of the programme be provided to a future meeting of the Forum with a view to examining what the programme entailed, how the programme worked and what needed to be done to return to a similar level of provision that had existed previously. The Forum requested that the information should include statistics and trends for the period of operation of the programme including budget information to enable the relevant success areas and comparators to be identified. Further discussion ensued in relation to the type and level of educational information available, the various methods of accessing information and the Forum was keen to explore such data at a future meeting of the Forum. The Youth Work Manager, who was also in attendance at the meeting, provided
