Meetings in July 2025
the Employees' Consultative Forum of Harrow Council - 30 July 2025
Councillor Ameet Jogia MBE actively participated in the Employees' Consultative Forum meeting, focusing his inquiries on the annual health and safety update. He expressed concerns and sought clarification regarding the Medigold data presented on page 70 of the report.
Specifically, he questioned the high percentage (50%) of appointments categorized as others,
seeking to understand the composition of this group and whether it reflected data recording issues or a dispersed distribution across various departments. He suggested that breaking down the data to such a granular level, like children in need early support,
might not be as useful as anticipated and proposed considering schools as a potential component of that category.
Jogia also raised concerns about the low number of face-to-face appointments for musculoskeletal and mental health issues, given that these constituted a significant portion of the reasons for appointments. He questioned whether the 18 on-site appointments out of 271 adequately addressed these needs, considering the prevalence of musculoskeletal and mental health concerns.
Furthermore, he requested more context for figures related to management self-assessments and health and safety audits, suggesting that providing information on expected numbers and triggering mechanisms would facilitate a more meaningful discussion about whether the reported figures were typical, good, or bad. He stated:
it might be in the body of the report but I think certainly from my point of view it'd be helpful where we put figures management self-assess self-audits 14 health and safety just to put the context of how many we would expect to happen are the management self-audits triggered by and it's required I just think some more context around this would be really helpful and that way we can have a much more meaningful discussion of all of the committee or advisory panel around the context of some of these are they good are they bad are they typical or not typical I just think that might be helpful
page 70 if everyone's got the same document it's the Medigold data we've got appointment data in there and it looks like half of it is broken down by directorates and then we've got 50% which equates to 136 which says others what would that be bear with me that's all
I mean is it possible to find out if that is just it's not recorded properly or if that's just the 50% it's made up of one or two people in lots and lots of different departments but I think 50% others is probably not a particularly useful figure to have
I mean there's loads of departments there I see that aren't mentioned but it could just be that there's one person to see if you try and do everything but I think maybe instead of breaking it down to the level that we're doing where we've got children in need early support can I just add to that we were thinking that that might be schools is that a possibility
so this is the referral data so I can't imagine that of that 50% only 4% were referred so I was a little bit confused I mean the referral data will be from the 100% of the other side so obviously we'll encapsulate those that are in the other section albeit we don't know which department they're in because the way I'm reading it is that of that 50% because this refers to how many people were referred of that 50% and I can't imagine that it would only be 4% rather than any outcome
when we look at the reasons for appointments musculoskeletal and mental health a big chunk of the reasons for appointments but then when we look at the page 70 appointment data only 18 out of the 271 appointments were actually face to face and it's just figures but I'm just asking you know if you've got a large chunk that's musculoskeletal and mental health I would have expected to see a lot more face to face appointments rather than 18 on site and 253 remote which I'm presuming is over the phone just figures

A member of the public complained during the meeting that their deputation on road safety had been rejected three times by TARSAP. The resident questioned the amount of time allocated to TARSAP meetings, suggesting it was insufficient to address safety issues adequately. The resident stated:
the issue i've got with that is it's been rejected three times and although you know you as a council you keep citing um the the the constitution back to us um tar sap only lasted for less than 30 minutes just over 30 minutes last time around so what why aren't you giving us the time at a traffic and review safety panel to allow us to discuss safety issues
