Minutes:
Mrs Hassoon raised concerns about the lack of medical cover at Fishburn Medical Practice. She was aware that due to planned leave Skerne Medical Group had indicated that there would be no cover this week however, she reported that there was no cover available last week either. She was also aware from local residents that this has happened on numerous occasions. She asked that the cross party review group take this on board and monitor the situation.
The Principal Overview and Scrutiny Officer advised that the Chairman had raised concerns with the practice and that the Practice Manager had informed him of the pre-planned holidays for this week. He advised that the CCG were working closely with the practice to monitor the issues raised. With reference to the review group he informed Mrs Hassoon that it was not within the remit of the group to look at individual practices. However, this would be raised as part of the deliberations from the group.
