The forward plan was noted with the following changes:

1.    Add ‘Local Plan update’ to the September meeting

The following referral from the Health in Dacorum Committee on 12 June was supported by the Cabinet:

“This council believes that the only option to provide the future emergency specialist hospital provision required for the growing population of West Hertfordshire is a new purpose built central hospital on a clear site suitable for the 21^st century healthcare delivery. The council believes that there must also be a full range of diagnostic services at the three main towns of West Hertfordshire. This council does not support the proposals to focus the majority of services and investment on the Watford site as we believe this will not provide an acceptable level of provision for the residents of Dacorum which we feel would be better served by a new build as would the needs of the wider West Herts population.”

Apologies of absence were received from Councillor Anderson.
