Issue - meetings

To consider any items admitted at item 2 above

Concern was raised with regards to the future of Hornsey Park Surgery.

Hornsey Park Surgery is not currently expected to meet Care Quality Commission standards which come into force next year.  Options are being explored to ensure that the surgery does meet standards.

Concerns have been raised that the surgery will be forced to move out of it’s current catchment area and further to the West of the borough due to uncertainly of the current properties lease and opportunities for improving the current or nearby surgery.

The panel raised concerns that:

• any move to Hornsey would make it very difficult for existing patients to travel as although it is geographically close, it would be two bus journeys
• a move would further exacerbated health inequalities in the borough.

It was noted that whilst Doctor continuity is important, the quality of provision was also important and this would need to be balanced when considering the premises for the surgery.

Agreed:

Sarah Price, Accountable Officer, Haringey CCG would speak to North Central London NHS to get an update on the situation for the Panel.
