Health Scrutiny minutes make clear what is expected from ICB and NHS Property Services by 24 January
The minutes of the Scrutiny meeting on 9 November have now been published and make clear that the Committee – which has power to refer decisions to the Secretary of State – has made very specific demands on the ICB and NHS Property Services. The decision was:
(a) the Committee requests a report for its next meeting in January 2024 from both Devon ICB and NHS Property Services to consider the outcome from meeting the League of Friends and explore the options for delivering increased health and wellbeing services in the town for the next five years and beyond;
(b) the Committee requests that NHS Property Services includes a proposal for a Community Health and Wellbeing Hub in any future options for the former ward space; and
(c) the Committee asks the Devon ICB to fully engage with the Seaton Hospital League of Friends and local steering group, including the divisional member, to explore and discuss the long-term future provision of NHS/health and wellbeing services for Seaton and Colyton residents including how collaborative working may assist with bringing forward a business plan for a health and wellbeing hub at Seaton Hospital.
(d) the Committee requests that no final decision on the proposed disposal of Seaton Community Hospital is made without further work in line with recommendations (a) to (c) above.
