South Reading Patient Voice

Simon Warren, Interim Managing Director of Reading Borough Council, speaking at the Audit and Governance Committee meeting on 29th September, declared that the Council was on the cusp of going to law with the NHS CCGs over the costs of continuing care for Reading residents.

Councillor Eileen McElligot noted that the Council and the CCGs had been in dispute for years about these costs.

The relevant discussion can be seen at the archived webcast ot the audit and governance committee meeting on 29th September 2016 at about 43 mnutes and 50 seconds into the webcast.

A council report from February 2016 gives the background showing that the funding for Continuing Health Care in South Reading is entirely out of line with that to comparable areas.
