Special public meeting on reaching our 2030 net zero carbon target, Environment and Regeneration Scrutiny Committee - Monday, 11th March, 2024 7.30 pm

The Environment and Regeneration Scrutiny Committee met to discuss progress towards Islington Council's 2030 net zero carbon target, and how to make Islington more climate resilient. The Committee received a report from officers on the progress of various environmental initiatives and discussed several concerns raised by residents.

Health and Care Scrutiny Committee - Monday, 4th March, 2024 7.30 pm

The Committee considered a report on the North Central London (NCL) Integrated Care Board's (ICB) Start Well Programme, which included proposals to reduce the number of maternity and neonatal units in NCL from five to four. There was a preference from the ICB to close the units at the Royal Free Hospital and retain them at the Whittington Hospital. There were concerns from Islington Councillors that, if the Whittington Hospital was to lose its maternity and neonatal services, this would have a detrimental impact on other services provided at the Hospital. There were also concerns expressed about how best to reach out to seldom heard groups who would be affected by the proposals, including the Bangladeshi community. A proposal to close the birthing suites at Edgware Community Hospital, was also discussed.
