Agenda item

To approve the minutes of the previous meeting of the Committee held on 8^th November 2016 (Item 3 attached).

With reference to item (ii) relating to the Barnsley Safeguarding Children Board (BSCB) Annual Report 2015-16, the Chair advised that the case of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) occurred elsewhere and not in Barnsley. The minutes should therefore read ‘The Group were advised of one case elsewhere which made the national headlines was related to a surgeon correcting a previous FGM procedure’.

The Chair also advised that the NHS consultation on proposed changes to Hyper Acute Stroke Services and Children’s Surgery and Anaesthesia Services has been extended to 14 February 2017.

A Member of the committee queried how the hospitals who are proposed to deliver the Hyper Acute Stroke Services coped over the Christmas period with demand for services. The Chair confirmed once this information has been received from the hospitals, this will be forward to all Elected Members.

The minutes of the meeting held on 8^th November 2016 were then approved as a true and accurate record.
