IRP to undertake independent health review in north east London
The IRP, the independent expert on NHS service change, is launching a review to consider whether the proposed changes to local health services in north east London will enable the provision of safe, sustainable and accessible services for the local population.
In February and March 2011 the IRP carried out an initial assessment regarding the Health for north east London proposals for changes to local health services. The Health Secretary, Rt Hon Andrew Lansley MP, accepted the IRP’s advice that a full review should be undertaken.
Dr Peter Barrett, Chair of the IRP, said: “Our focus throughout the review will be the patient and the quality of care. During the course of the review we will gather evidence locally and listen to all interested parties to ensure that the recommendations we make are in the best interests of local people.”
The review will start in April. During the course of the review the IRP will make a number of visits to north east London to see the NHS facilities and meet patients, clinicians and other staff. IRP members will also hold a series of meetings to hear directly from a range of interested parties, including local authority representatives and interest groups.
The IRP will make recommendations to the Health Secretary by 22 July 2011 in relation to the changes. The final decision on changes to services in the area will be made by the Health Secretary.
