Minutes:
RECEIVED the tabled, updated cover report on the Health Inequalities Scrutiny Review which included comments by the finance and legal teams and the final scrutiny review report, introduced by Melanie Ponomarenko (Scrutiny Officer).
NOTED
- The Department of Health National Support Team had used Haringey as an example of good practice guidance for addressing inequalities.
- In response to a concern that the review did not result in many recommendations it was noted that a cross party working group would be taking forward many of the issues in the review.
- A member commented that, in relation to recommendation 3 (page 51 of the second document pack), the report should be distributed at draft stage, including local businesses who should be encouraged to respond detailing how they could contribute towards reducing health inequalities.
- It was suggested that partners be encouraged to provide workplace screening for depression and anxiety disorders (page 61)
RESOLVED to approve the scrutiny review report on Health Inequalities.
