Meeting: Health Scrutiny Sub-Committee (County Hall, Durham - Committee Room 2 - 03/04/2006 10:00:00 AM)
Item: A10 Scrutiny Projects and Work Programme
Item No 10
| Health Scrutiny Sub-Committee 3 April 2006 Scrutiny Projects and Work Programme | |
| Report of Head of Overview and Scrutiny |  |
Purpose of Report
1. To up-date the work programme for the Sub-Committee.
Background
2. Trying to provide a manageable work programme for the Sub-Committee is challenging. The Sub-Committee will have control over the subjects it chooses. Advice suggests that, from a capacity point of view, and to seek to ensure that achievements are secured rather than information simply noted, a small number of projects should be undertaken.
3. In addition to projects chosen by the Sub-Committee, there will be significant issues which will need to be dealt with by the Sub-Committee as statutory consultee. These consultation issues by their nature cannot be anticipated well in advance and will need to be accommodated into the Sub-Committee’s work programme.
4. The coronary heart disease and stroke services project has been completed. Arrangements are being made to start a project about alcohol abuse in County Durham.
5. Some information about ambulance services in County Durham is awaited to complete a short study to provide a deeper understanding of transport and health.
Recommendation
6. You are recommended to note the work programme.
