(Report of the Director of the Children’s Service – To be introduced by the Executive Member for Children and Young People): To propose an executive response to the Scrutiny Review of Teenage Pregnancy.

We received a report considering the key conclusions of the Scrutiny Review into Teenage Pregnancy and were asked to respond to each of the recommendations.  We expressed concern at the reductions in Family Planning sessions, given that the teenage pregnancy rate in Haringey is above the national figure.  We noted that this report had been written prior to the family planning cuts and therefore the next report should feedback the implications of this.

RESOLVED

1)     That the work being undertaken to implement the recommendations of the Scrutiny Review be noted.

2)     To receive a further report back on any implications of the PCT funding reductions and to establish regular communication with the PCT on any substantial cuts in the future.
