Chairpersonship
- Janet Lambley is still looking for a director as a temporary chair. NW sees this as a temporary position
and is unable to commit long term.
Venue
- Julia Lidderdale has looked at venues such as children’s centres for meetings. Natasha can only attend
on Monday lunchtimes, so will ask again. Agreed this should be local to SPH.
Expenses-
- EN has asked Janet Lambley again regarding this matter. The PCT have so far committed to pay
childcare & travel expenses to county MSLC meetings but not local ones. Janet Lambley to pursue.
Objectives for 2009
- EN informed group that several agenda items would feature regularly on MSLC agendas in 2009 as these
were keys issues for the maternity service and the Trust. These include: Birthrate +, HCC audit and the
application for Foundation Status. EN also made the group aware that the Strategic Health Authority have
recognised the problem of recruiting midwives across Surrey. How the SHA plan to handle this will also be
part of the MSLC strategy.
- The draft strategy document will be ready for next meeting with agendas being planned for May onwards.
5. Terms of Reference
- In line with the DoH document, lay membership is to make up a third of all membership, this point must be
kept in.
- Discussion regarding how to recruit lay members who are representing a group. Possible ideas are list
below:
• Asking Community Midwives to inform mothers of the MSLC
• Advertising for members in Baby & Grapevine Magazines, distributed in GPs surgeries
and via HVs. – copies to be brought to next meeting so a decision can be made about
where to advertise.
- Discussion regarding content of terms of Reference: EN has noted all amendments and will reissue the
document to be agreed at the next meeting.
