1. The Committee has been alerted to proposals to a review of acute paediatric/maternity services by the Strategic Health Authority; changes to Wessex Cardiac Services by Southampton University Hospitals Trust; changes to bed modelling at Winchester by Winchester and Eastleigh Healthcare NHS Trust and the launch of a formal consultation on changes to rehabilitation services at Andover War Memorial Hospital by Winchester and Eastleigh Healthcare NHS Trust and Mid-Hampshire Primary Care Trust.
2. The East Hampshire Primary Care Trust has carried out consultation on proposed changes to community service configuration in Emsworth and Havant. The proposals would enable timely services as locally as possible and prevent older people having to be admitted to hospital. It was agreed that the consultation process had been adequate and the Committee welcomed the guarantee from the Trust that the maximum range of services would be provided at Emsworth Victoria Cottage Hospital including the scope for additional GP services and outpatient clinics. Further information is being sought about the timeframes for developing a business plan for the Oak Park Development at Havant, the costs of the new model of community services and the additional services that would be provided in people's homes as well as monitoring arrangements to be put in place to ensure delivery of high quality services.
