RESOLVED that the Minutes of the meeting held on 29 November 2012 be approved and signed as a correct record.

Matters arising

Minute no 28. Transfer of Medicine for Older People from Southampton General Hospital to Royal South Hants

The Panel enquired about the equipment on the Upper Brambles Ward.  The Panel were advised the equipment had been returned to UHS as the Trust was unable to recruit the right staff to open the ward.  The ward however was being used by Solent NHS Trust as staff and equipment had been transferred from the Fanshawe Ward to the Upper Brambles ward space.  Upper Brambles was bigger than Fanshawe, so an additional five patients were being cared for.  It was requested that an update be provided to the Panel in writing. 

Minute no 28. Installation of Digital Mammography equipment

The Panel requested an update on this issue.  The Panel were informed that the contact had been signed off with the provider.  There was a clear timetable for the works and it was anticipated it would go ahead as scheduled, if not before.

Minute no 30. Southampton Safeguarding Adults Board (SSAB) – Serious Case Review

The Chair of HOSP reported he had met with Carol Tozer, the Chair of the SSAB.  It had been agreed that the Panel would receive an annual report from the Chair of the SSAB and she would attend the March meeting.
