Issue - meetings

To provide South Holland District Council with an update following the latest meeting of the Health Scrutiny for Lincolnshire Committee (report of Councillor Glynis P Scalese enclosed).

Consideration was given to the report of Councillor Scalese in respect of Health Scrutiny for Lincolnshire.

Councillor Scalese raised the issue discussed earlier in the meeting regarding the closure of the GP facility at the Johnson Community Hospital, and commented that this was bad news for patients.  Recruitment to the NHS was currently very poor, and numbers wishing to be trained in certain professions was low.  Incentives to address this were being considered by the relevant bodies.  She also commented on the low number of NHS dentists across the whole of Lincolnshire.

DECISION:

That the report be noted.
