Agenda item

Consideration was given to the Committee’s Work Programme.  It was noted that the Committee’s next meeting on 22 February 2022 would be looking at the new way of working that had been introduced through Hillingdon Health and Care Partners (HHCP).  Members would be looking at the reasons for the introduction of the place based partnership (HHCP) and any improvements that it had initiated.  Ms Caroline Morison, Managing Director of HHCP, would provide examples of how service delivery had been improved.  She would be talking about the wider context and about how the redevelopment of Hillingdon Hospital had provided the opportunity to increase the pace of change in the Borough. 

North West London Clinical Commissioning Group (NWL CCG) had brought together the CCGs from all NWL boroughs including Hillingdon CCG.  The Integrated Care Partnerships (ICPs) and NWL were now aligned and supportive of the Hillingdon Hospital rebuild.  Mr Richard Ellis, NWL CCG, would also be invited to attend the meeting on 22 February 2022 to talk to Members about the provision of virtual GP consultations.

It was agreed that an update would be sought on the implementation of the recommendations from the GP Pressures review at the Committee’s meeting in February 2023. 

Members discussed the best way to review the Trusts’ Quality Account reports.  In the past, there had been two meetings scheduled at the end of April with the Trusts’ attendance split between the meetings.  However, this had not proved to be the most effective use of time as the reports were not always ready to be discussed at those meetings.  As such, only one meeting had been scheduled and Members would need to determine how they would like to focus this meeting.  The Committee’s responses to each of the Trust Quality Account reports would be agreed outside of the meetings and submitted within the subsequent 30 day permitted response time. 

The Committee’s meeting on 22 March 2022 would be focussed on crime and disorder.  Members asked that a Neighbourhood Watch representative be invited to attend again for further discussion.  It was also suggested that the main focus of the meeting be on crime and disorder relating to licensed premises.  For example, in relation to the 172 licensed premises in the Borough, how was the associated crime and disorder being managed. 

It had become apparent that there were a limited number of Health Based Places of Safety (HBPoS) and that this impacted on police time.  The Chairman had had some informal meetings over the last couple of months with a range of different partners about this issue.  Although CAMHS had been provisionally scheduled for the meeting in June 2022, it was agreed that this be moved to July 2022.  In June, it was agreed that the Committee would consider a summary report of the findings regarding the role of the police in dealing with mental health patients at Hillingdon Hospital Emergency Department.  Representatives from CNWL, THH, HHCP, NWL CCG, MPS and the Council would be invited to attend.
