Decision:

Modified decision:

 

(i)  That the report and work programme be noted and that a further update is made in March 2014 updating the progress of the work further.

(ii)  To accept all the recommendations to the HOSP Transport Review that the Council is responsible for delivering and will work in partnership with others to achieve the additional recommendations, as outlined in the Overview and Scrutiny Management Action Plan at Appendix 1.

Reasons for the decision:

The Health and Overview Scrutiny Panel produced a report into Public and Sustainable Transport Provision to Southampton General Hospital in March 2013.  The review aimed to discover how easy it is for residents to get to the General Hospital using public and sustainable transport and requested that a review of progress against the approved recommendations occurs after six months and twelve months.  This report forms the 6 month update.

Alternative options considered:

An option would be not to respond to the report which would not assist in achieving transport access improvements at the General Hospital.
