Members considered the forward rolling work programme for the Health Scrutiny Sub-Committee.

The Chairman proposed that the Task and Finish Group established at the meeting of Health Scrutiny Sub-Committee on 16^th March 2017 to review Bromley’s care offer for people with dementia and their families and carers be reconvened for 2017/18.  This was supported by the Health Scrutiny Sub-Committee and Member nominations were confirmed as Councillor Mary Cooke as Chairman, Councillors Ruth Bennett, Judi Ellis and David Jefferys, and Co-opted Members, Linda Gabriel and Lynn Sellwood.  The Chairman noted that Bromley Healthcare had undertaken a range of work on dementia during 2016/17, and requested that the Task and Finish Group link up with Julie Miller, Clinical Quality Team Manager who was the Dementia Lead for Bromley Healthcare.
