Local Democratic Legitimacy in Health - consultation Scrutiny Government proposal: Statutory function of O&S for health/care services transfers to Health and Wellbeing Board AND Government proposal: Continuation of formal health scrutiny function - to scrutinise Health and Wellbeing Board - within local authority Our view: Proposals seem unclear! Recommend single system for scrutiny. Seek views of HASC.

Commissioning for Patients – consultation Government proposal: GP consortia to take on commissioning role, including strengthening public and patient voice Our view: Welcome proposals to strengthen public and patient voice (HealthWatch, JSNA, Health and Wellbeing Board). There should be a ‘duty to co-operate’ between GP consortia and HealthWatch through the Health and Wellbeing Board to ensure that commissioning decisions are fair and equitable. EIAs will support this.
