The Joint Health Overview and Scrutiny Committee
for the Northern Care Alliance (JHOSC) aims to review the health
services offered by the Northern Care Alliance for people in Bury,
Oldham and Rochdale. It also helps develop policies to improve
health and reduce health inequalities related to hospital
services.
The Committee is made up of three representatives
from each of the Councils of Bury, Oldham and Rochdale.
The JHOSC has the authority, on behalf of the
four local councils, to carry out all necessary health scrutiny
functions as outlined in part 4 of the Local Authority (Public
Health, Health and Wellbeing Boards, and Health Scrutiny)
Regulations 2013. This includes reviewing and scrutinizing health
service issues provided by the Northern Care Alliance.
