Draft Local Plan
Representation ID: 15441
Received: 09/05/2016
Respondent: North East London NHS Foundation Trust
Agent: Ingleton Wood LLP
Plan does not adopt a partnership approach to the provision of healthcare. As drafted the document notes that the Clinical Commissioning Group is responsible for planning, designing, buying and the performance management of NHS services. Whilst the Clinical Commissioning Group have a statutory duty to improve the health of the local populations, the approach proposed does not have regard to the role of other health care providers and bodies within the locality and therefore does not consider the local implications of the forecast growth within the plan. In order to ensure the Local Plan is 'sound' a collaborative working arrangement should be established between the Borough Council, Essex County Council, the Clinical Commissioning Group, public health bodies and healthcare organisations to develop a comprehensive plan to the delivery of healthcare to meet local needs across the plan period.
