The Executive Place Managing Director provided an update on progress of NHSE Slough Wave 2 Capital Programme.

Following questions, the Executive Place Managing Director advised that the decision to locate the new Integrated Care Hub centrally was aligned with goals in the Localities Strategy. Its proposed central location was due to the increasingly high demand on GP services in the Upton Central area, with demand often outstripping supply. She confirmed that all the localities would continue to be supported. She clarified that no changes in services were proposed, rather, the CCG was looking at how working differently could improve current service provision. Health, social care, and third sector organisations would be co-located at the hubs. She added that the working group, which was made up of partners across health and care in Slough were looking into how to deliver an Integrated Care Hub in the centre of Slough.

She confirmed that the report would be referred to the People Scrutiny Panel in due course.

Resolved: That the report be noted.
