October meeting of Cumbria Heatth Scrutiny Committee

The next meeting of the Cumbria Health Scrutiny Committee will be held this coming Monday (8th October 2018) at 10.30 am in the council chamber at County Hall Kendal, LA9 4RQ. View directions here.

The meeting is open to the public for those whose employment and mobility position enables them to get to Kendal during office hours to watch.

 (In my humble opinion, this far into the 21st century it is disappointing that meetings of the full council, the council's cabinet, planning committee, these health scrutiny meetings and other meetings of significant potential interest to the public are not live-streamed on the internet. I have expressed this opinion in the council chamber and will continue to do so until we finally get there.)

The main items on the agenda are:


6.) Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy
To consider a presentation by the Director of Public Health, Cumbria County Council. This outlines the draft framework for the Joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy and provides feedback from the Committee prior to it going out for consultation.
