Decision:

To give consent to proceed with borough wide consultation with Rotherham residents and stakeholders on health provision, in support of the proposed Town Centre Health Hub.

The consultation will consist of in-person events in the following locations as well as online: Rotherham Show, Town Centre, Rotherham Hospital, Swallownest Health Centre and Rawmarsh Health Centre, to ensure consultation is carried out in the north and south of the borough. 

Reasons for the Decision:

To ensure residents and stakeholders have an opportunity to provide their thoughts and feedback on borough wide health provisions.

Details of alternative options considered and rejected:

Recommended: Borough wide public consultation and engagement is essential to understand the health provision requirements of residents and stakeholders to contribute to the justification of a need for town centre health provision. Therefore, the undertaking of in person and online formats are recommended to gather insights and data from residents and stakeholders.

Not recommended: The Council may choose to develop and implement the proposals without consultation. This option does not allow residents to feed into the plans, risking the creation of health provisions that don’t meet the needs of the community. It is therefore not recommended.
