RESOLVED: 

 

a) That the report of the Health and Care Scrutiny Committee be received.

b) That the Executive Member’s response be reported to a future

meeting of the Executive, including having due regard to any relevant

implications of the Committee’s recommendations.

 

 

Reasons for the decision The overall aim of the review was to consider

whether residents were able to access health and care services in Islington

effectively; specifically, GP appointments, and the Adult Social Care ‘front

door’ and to consider what themes or recommendations could improve service

delivery. In considering the evidence received, the Committee concluded that,

while some residents had positive experiences of accessing health and care

services, others had been having trouble in accessing services and there were

several ways that access to services could be improved.
