From: Brenda Worrall

Have local NHS leads published the document which brings together or offers a guide to reconfiguration proposals and which was promised in January at the Joint Scrutiny Committee meeting?

From: Sally Ruane

Will the Health and Wellbeing Scrutiny Commission be requiring the acute reconfiguration Pre-Consultation Business Case and the details of the proposed consultation process in advance of the start of the consultation itself?

On 31st July Simon Stevens & Amanda Pritchard wrote to all NHS trusts and health providers outlining priorities for the rest of the year. The focus is on plans to restore cancer and GP services, expand and improve mental health services and make preparations for winter whilst also preparing for localised or national Covid outbreaks. Additionally it sets targets to recover the elective activity. My understanding is that local systems must return a draft summary plan by 1 September using templates issued by NHSE and covering the key actions set out in the letter, with final plans due by 21 September. How were the public involved in the development of these plans and when will these plans be put in the public domain?

From: Robert Ball

On what date does (or did) the national committee meet to consider final approval of the Pre-Consultation Business Case for the acute hospital reconfiguration proposals in Leicester? If the committee has already met, what is the outcome? Will the public be consulted on the establishment of an Integrated Care System in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland?
