Issue - meetings

To receive and consider the recommendations from the Menopause Task & Finish Group, following the reports’ recent approval at Adults Social Care & Health OSC.

The Board was updated that the task and finish group for the Menopause Services has recently presented the report to the Adults Health and Social Care Overview and Scrutiny Committee.  The Board thanked those involved in the review and noted that Warwickshire is now a leading authority in this area.

The Chair thanked all the members and officers who were involved in the project.  The ICB has been asked to formally respond to this; they have responded that they are meeting the NICE guidelines, but it is likely that the guidelines aren’t right.

It was further confirmed that Healthwatch Warwickshire are now working with a group of men because of the work done by the task and finish group.

It was agreed that the adults overview and scrutiny committee will continue to monitor the recommendations made.
