            Matters Arising

            Closure of GP Practices

29.4    At the last meeting of the Board there had been a Member question in relation to the closure of a GP practice. This had led to a wider discussion about the process from GP notification of closure to changes in GPs for patients. A report had been due to come to that day’s meeting of the Board but had been held over until January 2020.

            Better Care Fund

29.5    At the previous meeting of the Board Members had been updated in respect of the Better Care Fund and it had been agreed that a further report would be brought to today’s meeting of the Board that had been delayed however in consequence of further conversations which had taken place about NHS finances this had been delayed due to the forthcoming election.

            Update on Intensive Care Beds

29.6    At the its last the Board had considered a report in relation to Knoll House. The Board had asked for further details on where Brighton and Hove residents were being placed and the numbers involved, again this report would be brought to the scheduled January 2020 meeting of the Board.

29.7    RESOLVED – That the position be noted.
