A councillor stormed out of a meeting after being told he should avoid "getting political", having claimed Brexit had destroyed the NHS. Lib Dem councillor Steve Carr 'stomped out' of a meeting at Nottinghamshire County Council's County Hall during a discussion over the creation of a new NHS body which is supposed to improve services across the region.
The Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) was recently replaced by an Integrated Care Board (ICB) in a shakeup aimed at improving efficiencies between GPs, community services, the police, charities and hospitals in Nottinghamshire. It is as such responsible for the budgeting of NHS services in the area.
The new board was being discussed during a health scrutiny committee meeting at County Hall on Tuesday, July 26 when an argument broke out. Questions were aimed at the chief executive of the ICB, Amanda Sullivan, and Prema Nirgude, head of insights and engagement.
