The Committee considered a report setting out matters outstanding from previousmeetings and the proposed work programme for 2022/23.

 

The Chairman noted that the action relating to Minute 41 – 23rd November 2021 was now complete. A copy of the Assistive Technology (AT) / Telecare Project Business Case had been agreed at the Integrated Commissioning Board in May 2022, and an update was included in the Information Briefing.

 

With regards to Minute 68 – 22nd March 2022, Members were advised that Bromley Healthcare (BHC) had attended the meeting to present an update regarding commissioner assurance arrangements following a Care Quality Commission (CQC) report which had rated them overall as ‘Requiring Improvement’ following an inspection between August and September 2021. During the meeting, the Portfolio Holder for Children, Education and Families had asked that a summary of Bromley Healthcare’s meetings with the CQC be relayed to the Portfolio Holder for Adult Care and Health and Director of Adult Social Care in order for them to be aware of how the CQC deemed the progress being made by BHC. The Chairman advised that the first summary had been emailed to the Portfolio Holder for Adult Care and Health and Director of Adult Social Care on 20th April 2022, and noted that a second updated would shortly be provided. In response to a question, the Director of Adult Social Care said that there were no specific concerns, but due to the overall rating of ‘Requiring Improvement’ it had been agreed that regular updates would be provided to meetings of the Health Scrutiny Sub-Committee. Another Member asked that a summary relating to this be provided to the next meeting of the Adult Care and Health PDS Committee.

 

With regards to the work programme for 2022/23, the Chairman asked Members to notify him if they had any further suggestions of items to be included. In response to a question, the Chairman advised that a report on Direct Payments had been presented to the Committee earlier in the year, and a further report would be provided to a future meeting. A Member requested that an update from the London Ambulance Service be added to the work programme for the Health Scrutiny Sub-Committee.

 

RESOLVED that the report be noted.
