Decision:
Dr Somen Banerjee (Public Health) presented the ‘Change Note’ of the ‘Aberfeldy Village Health Centre’ PID of August 2017 regarding changes to the fit out and leaseholder arrangements for the project. He confirmed that there had been no other changes to the nature of the bid. It was also noted that the GSSC had sought clarity on the location of the new Aberfeldy practice. Officers have circulated a new map showing the location of the health centre. The committee should note that the practice would be in Lansbury.
The Mayor invited the Chair of GSSC to comment on the report. He indicated that the GSSC sought clarity about the amount of CIL funding for the project, gained from planning applications in the Isle of Dogs area, and the amount of CIL funding generally for health provision on the Isle of Dogs. The GSSC also asked questions about the reasonable endeavours to secure a health practice in the Blackwall and Cubitt Town ward, the journey times for the patients, and how quickly the new practice would reach patient capacity.
The Mayor then invited GDSC Members to comment on the report. Members noted the comments in respect of the allocation of the CIL money. Members also discussed the proximity of the new practice to its patient base. Members were satisfied with the proposals.
DECISION
1. That the grant funding of £3,119,421 to NHS Tower Hamlets CCG be approved to deliver increased capacity, access and service provision in primary care and maintain continuity of local GP services.

Minutes:
Dr Somen Banerjee, Director of Public Health introduced this report stating that the report was seeking approval for a ‘Change Note’ in relation to the Aberfeldy Village Health Centre. He said that since the original PID was agreed in August 2017, there had been significant delays to the programme due to the vision being revised with health partners. NHS East London Foundation Trust were identified to replace NHS Property Services as the new delivery partners and Poplar HARCA to replace NHS Property Services as the leaseholder. Dr Banerjee stated there were no other changes to the PID.
In response to questions asked by Members the following was noted:
· There were various inaccuracies in the report, in particular the map on page 93. Members believed it did not reflect the latest situation with regard to the location of the new Aberfeldy Practice. The significance of this relates to the statement in the table on page 87 (PA/06/02068) that reasonable endeavours had been made to spend the funding in Blackwall and Cubitt ward. The view was expressed that reasonable endeavours had not been made and the latest location for the new Aberfeldy site will lengthen the journey for those residents.
o ACTION: Officers were asked to check the report for accuracy and ascertain the location of the new Aberfeldy practice for Grants Determination (Cabinet) Sub-committee on Wednesday.
· The new practice will reach capacity quickly and it is expected the CCG will promote the new practice in the run-up to its opening to encourage registrations.
Members of the Sub-Committee AGREED to ENDORSE the recommendation to the Grants Determination Sub-Committee subject to responses to the questions raised.
1. To approve the grant funding of £3,119,421 to NHS Tower Hamlets CCG to deliver increased capacity, access and service provision in primary care and maintain continuity of local GP Services
