The Board:

(i)  Reviewed the overarching dashboard;

(ii)  Noted the further detail provided on specific indicators and responses to the questions raised and that further updates would be provided in due course; and,

(iii)  Welcomed the assurance given by Conor Burke that the Barking Community Hospital Birthing Centre would not close and the issue had only been raised as a risk because negotiations were being held with Barts Health NHS Trust, however should these not be successful other service providers would be approached.
