Agenda item

The Committee received a report of the Director of Public Health, and a presentation from Michelle Baldwin Public Health Strategic Manager, with regards to the review and re-procurement of the current 0-19 Growing Healthy Service, which included the Health Visiting and School Nursing services (for copy see file of minutes).

The Public Health Strategic Manager invited comment from the Committee on the priority of services provided to which the Chair highlighted  the importance of immunisation and vaccination advice.

Councillor Kennedy raised concern about access to the online immunisation consent as some parents may not be able to use this facitily.  The Public Health Strategic Manager confirmed that this was a separate service but parents were able to opt-out of online services.

Resolved:

That the report be noted

That following the procurement process, arrangements be made for a progress report to be included within the Committee’s work programme.
