The Health and Adult Care Scrutiny Panel is
responsible for ensuring scrutiny of health services and social
care provision within the London Borough of Hounslow. It is the successor to the Adults, Health and Social Care Scrutiny Panel as of 30th
June 2010.
The Panel has special powers under the Health
and Social Care Act 2001 to carry out this work and also retains a power to refer important issues
to the Secretary of State for Health.
The Panel works closely with NHS and other
health and care service actors with the aim of helping to improve
provision and act as a ‘critical friend’ in terms of
service delivery.
