Dorset Health Scrutiny Committee
The Dorset Health Scrutiny Committee acts as a 'critical friend' to local NHS health organisations, asking them and others for information, examining that information and asking probing questions.
The Health Scrutiny Committee:
Works in partnership with local health service providers and the public to improve health and wellbeing in Dorset
Makes constructive recommendations for improvement
Looks at areas or groups of people in the community who suffer from worse health than others and consider how this inequality can be improved
Considers and comments on major developments or changes by the local NHS that will affect people in Dorset
