CCG refuses to give details of NHS cuts, Tories block attempts to record concerns – Claire Wright’s account of yesterday’s Health Scrutiny

Posted on September 22, 2017 Updated on September 22, 2017

Claire Wright, Independent member of Devon’s Health Scrutiny Committee, has given a full account of how the latest meeting revealed the growing crisis in Devon’s NHS, the CCG’s arrogant refusal to give detailed information demanded by councillors, and the obsessive blocking by the committee’s Conservative members of any attempt to record concerns. My proposal about community hospitals, mentioned by Claire at the end of her report, lives for another day, and I will write about it shortly.
