Agenda item

5.1

The Policy & Improvement Officer presented a report asking the Sub-Committee to co-opt a (non-voting) HealthWatch Sheffield representative to the Committee for the 2022/23 year. This would provide a framework for the statutory relationship between Health Scrutiny and HealthWatch, and strengthen the sub-committee’s approach to public engagement as HealthWatch Sheffield will feed the views and experiences of local people into scrutiny discussions

Co-opts a HealthWatch Sheffield representative to the Health Scrutiny Sub-Committee for the 2022/23 municipal year.
