Healthy Accountability Forum

The Forum brings together representatives of each of the Regional Health Scrutiny Networks with NHS, social care and public health colleagues to invigorate the scrutiny process through learning and sharing.

Outcomes from the Forum are shared with the Networks and more widely through the scrutiny support programme. In the longer term we want the Forum to develop into a national voice for Health Scrutiny and become the place where policy makers can engage with scrutineers. Members are invited through the Regional Networks.

This coming year with financial and organisational challenges expected ahead, we are going to explore a constructive role for health scrutiny in ensuring the aims and objectives set out for the health service are achieved for their local populations within the expected financial constraints, and the emerging concept of total place.

In 2010 the Forums will be at Local Government House and will take place on

Last year we used the quarterly forums to broaden the horizons of health scrutiny to take on board healthy communities, public involvement, and community cohesion issues
