EXCLUSIVE: NHS STP plan topic of special public meeting of Wirral Council councillors on 13th February 2018

                                              

Edited JB 30.1.2018 20:09 to add more detail about what meeting is about.

When looking at the calendar of public meetings at Wirral Council for February 2018, I noticed a special meeting of the Adult Care and Health Overview and Scrutiny Committee had been scheduled to start at 6.00 pm on Tuesday 13th February 2018 in Committee Room 1, Wallasey Town Hall, Brighton Street, Seacombe, CH44 8ED.

For those that have been following local politics around the NHS, or who read this blog regularly, you’ll be already aware of the controversy surrounding the STP plans (or to spell out the acronym Sustainability and Transformation Partnerships).

I am told that the special meeting on the 13th February 2018 (which will be held in public) will be discussing this topic as well as the NHS Five Year Forward View. As the agenda and reports are scheduled to be published on the 5th February 2018, I can’t provide more detail than that.

However there is a certain strength of feeling both on the Wirral and over in Liverpool about changes happening and proposed changes to the NHS.

It is a political topic that arouses strong feelings in people, especially those that rely heavily on NHS services.

The public meeting will be starting at 6.00 pm on Tuesday 13th February 2018 in Committee Room 1, Wallasey Town Hall, Brighton Street, Seacombe, CH44 8ED and next month the agenda and reports will be published on Wirral Council’s website at this address.

Wirral Council’s Adult Care and Health Overview and Scrutiny Committee will also be meeting in Committee Room 1 in public tonight at a meeting starting at 6.00 pm.
