(Report of the Chair of the Overview and Scrutiny Committee)  To report on the consultation process for the Healthcare for London: A Framework for Action report by NHS London and to agree Haringey’s participation in a joint committee to consider the report.

Councillor Davies declared a personal interest in respect of this item on account of him being an employee of the Healthcare Commission.

The committee received a report on the consultation process for the Healthcare for London: A Framework for Action report by NHS London and agreed in principle Haringey’s participation in a Joint Overview and Scrutiny Committee to examine the report in detail.

Members learned that approxiamtely half of London boroughs had signed up to the Joint Committee thus far, with more expected soon.  The size of the committee allowed only one Member per Council; for Haringey this would be Councillor Bull, with a Liberal Democrat Member of the committee as his nominated deputy.

RESOLVED:

1. That recommendation 3 be amended so a Liberal Democrat Member of the committee be Councillor Bull’s nominated deputy on the Joint Committee.

2. That, subject to the above, the recommendations in the report be agreed.
