Work programme
The items for discussion at future HOSC meetings are set out in the committee's work programme. The work programme is included as a standing agenda item at each meeting and the latest version is published in the agenda pack of the most recent meeting.
The work programme also includes other work that HOSC members are doing outside of the formal meetings, these include:
- regular joint meetings with other HOSCs to scrutinise NHS trusts that provide health services across a wide area
- evidence gathering meetings for reviews of important health issues
- visits to NHS, voluntary or independent health services to better understand how they work
