Cumbria Health Scrutiny variation sub-committee meeting, Monday 21st May 2018

There will be a meeting of the Variation Sub-commitee of the Cumbria Health Scrutiny Committee at 2pm next Monday (21st May) to consider one issue: the proposal from the NHS Cumbria Partnership Foundation Trust to close specialist dental services at the Flatt Walks clinic in Whitehaven and relocate the service to Cleator Moor health centre.

The role of this committee, which consists of six councillors, three district councillors and three county councillors with one of the six representing each district in Cumbria, is to decide whether this constitutes a "substantial service change" which would trigger a greater requirement for public consultation.

The meeting will take place in Committee Room 2 at County Hall in Kendal and will be open to the public.

Details of the proposal, including the results of consultation with patients, and the agenda can be found here.
