- View the background to item 35.
Report of the Chief Operating Officer of the CCG (copy attached).
Minutes:
35.1 The Chair welcomed the report and noted that he had received notification of a GP Practice in Peacehaven, where the GP’s were planning to retire which would affect a number of patients.
35.2 Councillor Mac Cafferty queried how new GP’s were likely to be attracted into the area and noted that there were other Practices that were in danger of losing GP’s or closing. He also welcomed the report but wanted to know how Practices could be supported and action taken to ensure they stayed open.
35.3 Councillor G. Theobald noted that doctors spent time at hospital and queried whether this could be managed to enable them to spend time in Practices as well.
35.4 Dr. Xavier Nalletamby welcomed the report and stated that workloads had changed significantly and many doctors already worked in A&E departments or worked in a Practice and spent time at Hospital where they specialised in areas.
35.5 RESOLVED: That the report be noted.
