Who is in the Healthy Croydon Partnership?
The Healthy Croydon Partnership comprises the most senior local representatives of health trusts, the council, voluntary sector, police, probation and business. This includes the chairs of the NHS trusts, council cabinet and shadow cabinet members, elected members of the voluntary and community sector and a business representative.
Chief officers from each organisation also attend and participate in the meetings. Attendance at meetings is extremely high, and additional expertise is brought in for particular topics.
What can they do?
The Healthy Croydon Partnership does not have formal decision making powers but it is a highly influential body in shaping both strategy and service provision. Formal decisions need to be referred to the constituent partnership agencies.
The partnership as a whole is not able to vote to compel any member agency to take a particular course of action.
Who oversees the partnership?
The partnership has a small executive group made up of chief officers and directors of member organisations. It oversees and steers the work of the partnership and is chaired by the chief executive of Croydon Primary Care Trust.
The main work of Healthy Croydon is taken forward by fourteen partnership groups. They are each responsible for leading an aspect of health and social care provision e.g. older people, children & young people, mental health, or a cross-cutting theme or support function, e.g. carers, community involvement.
