A Joint Health Overview and Scrutiny Committee (Joint HOSC) was set up to scrutinise West Sussex and Brighton & Hove City Primary Care Trusts’ (PCTs) proposals to change local acute (i.e. hospital) services and plans for community services.
As the PCTs' proposals had an impact on more than one Health Overview and Scrutiny Committee (HOSC) area, the Joint HOSC was made up of representatives from the relevant local authorities, as set out below:
West Sussex County Council, East Sussex County Council, Hampshire County Council, Brighton and Hove City Council, Surrey County Council, Portsmouth City Council
The Joint HOSC's report and evidence for its referral are now available. See links on right.
A copy of the report is also available in all libraries throughout the county.
A press release from the Joint HOSC with the latest news on the referral is available to download from the list of documents on the right.
