(c)        That the Countess of Chester Hospital be invited to attend the next meeting of the Committee on 18 July 2019.

In presenting the Forward Work Programme, the Democratic Services Manager advised that a report on the Continuing Health Care Crisis would be included on the agenda for the next meeting to be held on 18 July.   He said a link to the consultation on Continuing Health Care would be sent to the Committee beforehand.

The Officer referred to the item on Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board (BCUHB) and Welsh Ambulance Services NHS which was also scheduled for the next meeting and advised that the Chief Officer (Social Services) had suggested that the Committee may wish to invite the Countess of Chester Hospital to attend the meeting.  This was agreed by the Committee.   Members were asked to forward questions for BCUHB and Countess of Chester to the Social & Health Facilitator in advance of the meeting.

Following a suggestion by Councillor Christine Jones it was agreed that a presentation by the Manager of NEWCES be included on the Forward Work Programme for a future meeting of the Committee.
