To agree the response of the Executive to the outcomes of the scrutiny enquiry into Integration of Health and Social Care II as received at the previous Executive meeting on 3 April 2018.

That the Executive’s response to the enquiry into Integration of Health and Social Care in Central Bedfordshire, as set out in Appendix A to the report, be approved.

The Executive considered a report from the Executive Members for Health and for Adults, Social Care and Housing Operations that set out the Executive’s response to Phase 2 of the Social Care, Health and Housing Overview and Scrutiny enquiry into integration of health and social care in Central Bedfordshire.

In response to a question, the Executive Member for Health explained that West Mid Bedfordshire had been identified as a future location for an integrated health and care hub.  It was unlikely that the hub would be developed until the major housing developments in the area had been built.  In the meantime, consideration would be given to developing a ‘spoke’ in the Cranfield area.

Reason for decision:  To enable the recommendations, where applicable, to be implemented.

RESOLVED 

that the Executive’s response to the enquiry into Integration of Health and Social Care in Central Bedfordshire, as set out in Appendix A to the report, be approved.

The decision was unanimous.
