Shropshire Council and the
Borough of Telford & Wrekin have responsibilities for
scrutinising health services within their areas.
A joint Committee, consisting
of Elected Members and Co-optees from
each Authority's Health Scrutiny Committees, has been established
to scrutinise health issues that impact on the wider health economy
in Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin. This has particularly focussed
on changes and re-configuration of acute services run by the
Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust.
Meetings of the Joint Health
Overview and Scrutiny Committee are held in public, however it is important to note that public
participation is not permitted at these meetings.
