Councillor N Symonds, Chairman of the Health and Wellbeing Panel stated that she had attended health meetings at Hertfordshire County Council and had played an active part in the health process.  She referred to a new urgent care centre at the Lister Hospital and had had first hand experience of how 111 calls were handled.

Councillor Symonds was pleased to see that health issues had been integrated within the Council’s policies and services and thanked Claire Pullen, the Scrutiny Officer for her support in the process.
