12 NOTICE OF MOTION
MOTION ONE

“On 16th September 2014, a group of mothers is setting off on a march from Jarrow to London to demand that the NHS remains in public hands and is run for the people – not for profit.  On 27th and 28th August 2014, the People’s March for the NHS will be passing through towns in Nottinghamshire including Mansfield, Sutton in Ashfield and Hucknall.

The marchers hope to highlight the privatisation of the NHS which has seen profitable parts of the NHS transferred into private hands whilst leaving the public purse to carry the cost of expensive and complex operations.

This Council:-

a)    recognises the threat to our NHS from legislation including the Health and Social Care Act (2012) and the proposed Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership; both of which put profits before people;

b)    values the principle of our NHS to provide free, universal healthcare for all;

c)    supports the People’s March for the NHS along with its aims and intentions.”

Councillor Alice Grice                   Councillor Joyce Bosnjak

MOTION TWO

"In view of the increased financial and performance monitoring responsibilities for health services afforded to Nottinghamshire County Council by Central Government, this Council:-

(a)  supports the demand made by members of the Public Health Committee in January 2014 for performance and quality data reports relating to Public Health contracts to include more clarity on performance and indications of trends;

(b)  agrees that these steps towards better performance monitoring must continue, with clearer targets for Public Health service outcomes and regular reports to Full Council, in order to satisfy all Members that value is being achieved for the £36 million of public money being invested in Public Health in 2014/15;

(c)  calls for a clearer definition of the new role and responsibilities of the Health Scrutiny and Joint Health Scrutiny Committees agreed at the May 2014 Council meeting, to clarify which committee will take the lead for which geographical area and scrutinise the performance of

i)             Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust

ii)            Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Trust

iii)           GPs surgeries and

iv)           other health-related bodies;

(d)  calls for the size and membership of the Council’s two health scrutiny committees to be reviewed and increased where necessary to reflect their greater roles and responsibilities.

Councillor Mrs Kay Cutts             Councillor Martin Suthers OBE
