Received a report from the General Practitioner (GP) Services Scrutiny Panel which included a review of the progress made in implementing the recommendations arising from the 2004 scrutiny review of GP services provision.
The Panel considered evidence, reports and presentations from a number of health professionals, reviewed best practice nationally and in other local Primary Care Trusts and considered the impact of the ‘Healthcare for London’ plan on local GP services.
Arising from the discussions, asked that the Primary Care Trust explain why a different quality of service is provided to patients based on where they reside in the borough.
Agreed, in order to assist the Council achieve its Community Priority of ‘Improving Health Housing and Social Care’, to recommend the report to the Assembly for adoption.
