The Panel considered the report of the Managing Director, North and Mid Hampshire – Hampshire and Isle of Wight Partnership of CCGs, West Hampshire CCG and the Chief Executive of Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust providing an overview of the Hampshire Together: Modernising our Hospitals and Health Services programme.

 

Ruth Colburn-Jackson - Managing Director, North & Mid Hampshire, Hampshire & Isle of Wight Partnership of Clinical Commissioning Groups; Dr Matt Nisbet - Clinical lead, Business and Partnerships, Hampshire and Isle of Wight Partnership of CCGs; Alex Whitfield, Chief Executive, Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust; Dr Lara Alloway - Chief Medical Officer, Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust; Elliot Nichols - Associate Director, Communications and Engagement, Hampshire Hospitals Foundation Trust;; John Boyman - Head of Public Relations, Hampshire Together and Duncan Linning-Karp – Divisional Director of Operations, UHS were in attendance and, with the consent of the Chair, addressed the meeting.

The Panel received a presentation detailing the current demands on the service, the need for change and the potential options to change that had been set out in the report.

 

The potential scrutiny process for the modernisation of the hospitals and services involved was set out to the Panel at the meeting.  It was noted that should neighbouring authorities consider that the changes did constitute a substantial change/variation in service then a joint scrutiny panel would be required.  It was further explained that the Panel would needed to recommend that Council appoint representatives to any such joint committee.

 

RESOLVED that the Panel

 

(1)  Noted the report.

(2)  Considered the proposals set out in the report and decided that the proposed changes did constitute a substantial change/variation in service.

(3)  Recommended that Southampton City Council would take part in any Joint Overview and Scrutiny Committee with neighbouring local authorities to consider and be consulted formally on the proposed changes to the service.
