Agenda item - Update on the HOSC STP Working Group

Verbal update from the Chair of the Working Group, Councillor Allen.

9.1       Cllr Allen introduced the update outlining that the STP working group was established following the HOSC meeting on 7^th December 2016 and the first meeting was held on 20^th March 2017 where Adam Doyle was asked questions on governance, timetable and finance. The second meeting on 21^st June was attended by Evelyn Barker (BSUH) and Mike Jennings (Sussex Community NHS Foundation Trust).

9.2       It was agreed in the Terms of Reference that the continuation of the STP working group would be reviewed in June 2017. So far there have only been twomeetings and there are still others lined up to attend including GPs. More information and feedback from local people is required before it can be said that the working group has achieved what it was set up to. It was therefore recommended that the committee agree to allow the working group to continue and review again after two further meetings.

DECISION: The STP working group will have two further meetings and then be reviewed again.

ACTION: Cllr K Norman to arrange for a Conservative Cllr to attend the working group meetings.
