Foreword by the Health Scrutiny Panel We have pleasure in presenting the Report of the Barking and Dagenham Health Scrutiny Panel on Speech and Language Therapy Services. Since January 2003, councils have had the power to look in depth at local health services on residents’ behalf and recommend improvements – this is called ‘health scrutiny’ and its main aim is to act as a lever to improve the health of local people. Before choosing to undertake a review of Speech and Language Therapy Services, we consulted local people on what they think the key health issues are in Barking & Dagenham. This included consultations through the Community Forums, the Barking & Dagenham Forum for the Elderly, the BAD Youth Forum, the Barking & Dagenham Partnership and ‘The Citizen’. We also met representatives from local NHS bodies and other organisations involved in health. It was clear from this that many people across the Borough had strong concerns about the provision of Speech and Language Therapy Services. We believe this report has confirmed those concerns and, through the recommendations it outlines, will make a significant contribution towards addressing the problems. Decisions on issues of resources are the responsibility of others, but we hope that multi-agency working will be endorsed and look forward to a positive and constructive response from the Barking & Dagenham Primary Care Trust. We should like to place on record our thanks to all those who provided views and evidence during the review, in particular those members of the public who have first-hand experience of using the service and who expressed their concerns with such clarity and force. 2
