Issue - meetings

To follow.

Sarah Price presented the report on the work the CCG was doing over the summer around public engagement in commissioning intentions, and asked the Board to consider how it wanted to be involved in this. The first public meetings would be taking place in June, and had been organised with HAVCO; the CCG hoped to be able to connect with groups that the NHS had previously not been able to reach. Work was also taking place with GP practices, and as much feedback as possible would be gathered.

·        It was suggested that a specific event should be organised for young people, possibly via the College of North East London. Engaging with young disabled people should also form a part of this. It was suggested that the young commissioners should be involved in the organisation of any engagement exercise aimed at reaching young people.

·        Discussion was ongoing in respect of  the respective roles of Healthwatch Haringey and Haringey Network, in order to clarify roles and responsibilities and avoid confusion. It was agreed that there was need for further discussion around this. It was noted by way of context that Healthwatch was still in the process of starting-up, and was currently appointing staff.

·        It was noted that the dates and times of sessions had changed subsequent to the production of the report. Havco and the CCG were seeking a venue that was accessible for residents on both sides of the borough, and asked for any suggestions. Heartlands School was proposed as a possible venue, and Fitzroy Andrew agreed to feed this back.
