    Notice of Petition

     

    Received from Nichola Cornes, 1184 signatures

     

    We oppose the shutting of Staines Fire Station next April when the new single Fire Station at Fordbridge Roundabout will not be ready. We oppose the idea that Spelthorne will need only one Fire Engine, wherever it is based. We believe the current plans will put lives in danger. Please help us retain a safe Fire Service for all of Surrey.

     

    A response will be tabled at the meeting.

     

    Decision:

    That the response, attached as Appendix 1, is approved.

CONTRACTS FOR THE PROVISION OF POST MORTEM SERVICES TO HM CORONER pdf icon PDF 145 KB

    • Share this item

    Formal contracts for the provision of body storage and post mortem (PM) facilities to HM Coroner do not currently exist with the current providers.  This report sets out the current challenges facing the coronial pathology service nationally and highlights the need for the award of formal contracts for the provision of these vital services to the Surrey Coroner.

     

    Due to the commercial sensitivity involved in terms of the cost of providing the service, the price of the services are contained within Part 2 of this report.

     

    Decision:

    It is recommended that contracts for a period of up to three years be entered into with Surrey and Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust (SSHT) and Frimley Health NHS Foundation Trust (FHT) for the provision of body storage and PM facilities for the Surrey Coroner.
