Joint report of NHS South Sefton Clinical Commissioning Group and NHS Southport and Formby Clinical Commissioning Group.

The Committee considered the joint report of NHS South Sefton Clinical Commissioning Group and NHS Southport and Formby Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) that set out the case for change for the North Mersey Urgent Care Review that was currently ongoing across NHS South Sefton CCG and NHS Liverpool CCG; presented the findings from early engagement with local populations; and set out the next steps in the process to bring forward a proposal for the future delivery of these services.

The report set out the background to the matter; the current position; the scope of the urgent care review; the engagement approach; health and care system collaboration; together with a conclusion and indicative timescale.

Members of the Committee asked questions/raised matters on the following issues:

·       The review did not include the 7 Day GP extended access scheme and currently service delivery would not necessarily fit together.

The 7 Day GP extended access scheme had been considered and that concern had been expressed previously. Services would need to be aligned and the process managed.

·       Could services be in conflict if the proposals were put in place?

The specification for the urgent care review would require flexibility in order to avoid such conflict.

RESOLVED:

That the update on the North Mersey Urgent Care Review be noted.
