In January 2015, the Corporate Overview and Scrutiny Committee received a report on the Thameside Complex. It was decided at this meeting that a cross party task and finish group could usefully support the detailed consideration of the options for the future of the services and the complex.

The purpose and aims of the Thameside Complex Review Panel are:

·         Building upon the work completed to date, understand the current challenges and benefits of the Thameside Complex and providing services from it.

·         Consider the proposed future options for the services as outlined in the Cabinet report of February 2015, using witness sessions, consultation and other research to provide a balanced view of each.

·         Provide a thorough and balanced report to Cabinet outlining the Group’s consideration of each option.
