Progress Report of the Assistant Chief Executive.

The Committee considered a report of the Assistant Chief Executive which detailed the progress made in implementing the recommendations of the Health and Social Care Act 2012 and the implications for Health Overview and Scrutiny report considered by the Committee at its special meeting held on 13 August 2012 (for copy see file of Minutes).

The Principal Overview and Scrutiny Officer referred the Committee to paragraph 4 of the report and reported that the Chair of the Committee and Overview and Scrutiny Manager were to deliver the proposed information sharing presentation to the Durham Dales, Easington and Sedgefield Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) at their development day.  Discussions were taking place with North Durham CCG for a similar presentation to take place.

The Principal Overview and Scrutiny Officer informed the Committee that arrangements were being made for the CCG’s final Clear and Credible plans to be presented to the Committee at its meeting to be held on 26 November 2012.

The Principal Overview and Scrutiny Officer informed the Committee that the lead officer identified in the NHS Durham Dales, Easington and Sedgefield CCG was Mr Joseph Chandy, not Dr Joseph Chandy as printed in the report.

(i)                 That the report be noted

(ii)               That the progress made in implementation of the recommendations previously agreed in respect of the implications for Health Overview and Scrutiny  of NHS Reforms presented in the Health and Social Care Act 2012 be noted.
