RESOLVED

That, subject to the above amendments, the minutes of the meeting held on 10 June 2020 and the minutes of the meeting in common with the Community Safety Partnership held on 21 September 2020 were confirmed and signed as a correct record.

Sharon Grant, Healthwatch Haringey, noted that the representation of patients at the new North Central London (NCL) Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) Governing Board had been discussed at the meeting on 10 June 2020. She reported that there had been some discussions between Healthwatch in each of the five NCL boroughs, the NCL CCG Chair, and the Chief of NHS London but that this had not been resolved. Sharon Grant, Healthwatch Haringey, noted that she was representing the patient voice for all five boroughs which was demanding and unrealistic and that there was no additional support. There were some alternative arrangements but these did not address the fact that there was a lack of resources.

It was also noted that the last NCL CCG Governing Board meeting had not been live streamed for the public and there was no suggestion that alternative arrangements would be available for future meetings. Although it was available to watch as a recording, Sharon Grant, Healthwatch Haringey, did not feel that this was satisfactory in terms of accessibility or accountability.

Josephine Sauvage, NCL CCG Chair, confirmed that the last meeting was not live streamed as there had been some issues around functionality. However, she understood that work was underway to provide a live stream of future meetings to ensure accountability and to allow external representatives to participate.
