Decision details

Committee to consider a Member’s Item on East Barnet Health Centre.

The Chairman introduced the Member’s Item in the name of Councillor Rawlings and noted that the Committee had considered a report from the Barnet Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) on unscheduled care services at Cricklewood GP Health Centre at their meeting on 9 February 2015. 

The Chairman noted that at that meeting the Committee had unanimously requested that the CCG provide the Committee with a further report in July 2015, with further evidence, including the views expressed by the Patient Participation Group (PPG).  The Chairman suggested that the Committee wait to receive this information at the July meeting prior to making any further recommendations, especially as she had just been informed that the contract had been extended from September 2015 to December 2015. 

Councillor Rawlings agreed that if the Walk in Centre contract had been extended until December 2015, he would be prepared to receive the additional evidence at the July 2015 meeting.  Councillor Rawlings also noted that he wished to convey the message to NHS England and Barnet CCG that he considered Walk in Centres as part of the overall health economy, which needed to fit into the overall strategy for the area. 

A Member suggested that Barndoc Healthcare Ltd., who provide out of hours face to face GP services and had attended the February 2015 meeting also be invited to attend the July meeting.

RESOLVED that the Committee note the Members Item, and request to receive a further report in July 2015, as agreed by the Committee at their meeting on 9 February 2015.
