Report of the Overview and Scrutiny Health Inequalities Working Group

The Cabinet considered the report of the Assistant Chief Executive which incorporated the executive summary of the final report by the Overview and Scrutiny Working Group which had undertaken an inquiry into the impact of health inequalities within local communities based around three primary schools, two in the South of the Borough and one in the North of the Borough.

The Council had been selected as one of nine National Health Inequalities Scrutiny Development Areas by the Centre for Public Scrutiny to undertake the scrutiny inquiry.

Councillor Hill, the Chair of the Working Group outlined the work undertaken during the review and the recommendations of the Working Group.

This was a Key Decision and was included in the Council's Forward Plan of Key Decisions.

RESOLVED:

That the recommendations of the Health Inequalities Working Group, set out in paragraph 2.2 of the report, be referred to the appropriate named Officer to enable them to bring costed proposals for implementation (including relevant budgetary considerations) to be considered by the Cabinet.
