Public Health and Social Care - 20th Nov 18:00 meeting

The Barbican Association have organised a residents meeting about health and social care.  Here is the notice for the meeting:

"Future Directions for Public Health and Social Care in The City"

Presentation and Panel Discussion Wednesday, 20 November 2013 at 6.00 pm St Giles’ Cripplegate Church

• Ade Adetosoye OBE, Director of Community and Children’s Services
• Dr Penny Bevan, Director of Public Health 
• Chris Pelham, Assistant Director of People’s Services 
• Farrah Hart, Healthy City Development Manager 
• Revd Dr Martin Dudley, Chairman, Health & Wellbeing Board 

In April 2013 the City of London took over responsibility for public health from the NHS. This provides an opportunity to better integrate services and co-ordinate initiatives around both public health and social care. The BA has asked the Director of Community and Children’s Services and the Director of Public Health as well as key managers responsibly for delivering these services within the Square Mile to share with residents what these changes mean. Come and find out the thinking behind these changes, the improvements planned, and what this means for Social Services, from a City resident’s perspective.

To be followed by wine, soft drinks and an opportunity for informal chat. All Barbican residents are welcome.
