in that all funding will go back into the hands of the CCG for them to decide whether or not they commission the services out as an enhanced service. 8. Any Other Business JM asked if there was to be a replacement for Julie Hunter (the previous diabetic nurse). JR informed the group that Catherine Hurdman is now her replacement but realises that continuity of care may have been diluted. However, a new Practice Nurse, along with the Kidgate merger should offer new staff. BO asked why 6mth diabetic reviews have changed to 12mth he feels – HbA1c should be looked at 6mthly. JR replied diabetic guidelines are being followed for 12mthly review if pts are stable. If pts are unstable, these will be reviewed 6mthly. Pts should see GP for any concerns. AJH agreed to review pts for multiple chronic disease management during the same appt. JM raised the issue of new homes planning to be built in Woodhall & the impact on TLS. JR confirmed if plans go ahead, funds are provided. No money yet as this comes from builders (S106 agreement). Funds are given when 50th property is occupied. JR looked into closing the TLS list size but was told authorisation would not be given. BW raised issue of answer machine always engaged. Asked if this could be switched off. Older pts losing lot of time waiting to get through long message. JR said message was needed to direct the call appropriately. JT asked if new pts are GP are they allocated certain GP’s. Which given? Need further info ref hours etc. JR replied that pts are GP’s allocated but can see anyone. Pts given all info when they GP’s register. Additionally Practice Booklets should be available at reception and if not, please just ask for a copy. FK pointed out when are asked to contact GP for reviews, same pt’s GP is not always available. If a patient is willing to travel to Louth to see same GP, one has been told they cannot go as they have no access to medical records. Is this correct? JR confirmed this is inaccurate feedback. The only issue this causes is impact on access for Louth patients. JR will also display a notice in reception and on the website regarding Data Sharing Agreement & Implied Consent. Meeting closed 3.40 p.m. Next meeting July 2017
