Sussex Joint Health Overview and Scrutiny Committee (JHOSC) |
Regulations require the establishment of a JHOSC where a substantial variation to services effects more than one local authority area. A JHOSC will be established if there is a need to consider potential future substantial variation in service resulting from both the Clinically Effective Commissioning (CEC) programme and the Sussex Health and Care Partnership (SHCP), although no substantial variations have yet been confirmed. The JHOSC would be established by each of the relevant local authorities ahead of consideration of any substantial variation and membership appointed to it on a politically proportional basis. |
