They will give reports about the quality of services they have provided over the past year.

Members from the trusts, along with councillors, will then consider and comment on performances in 2018/19 and look to what future priorities could be.

A report from Joan Stevens, council statutory scrutiny manager, said all providers of NHS healthcare services are required to produce annual reports to be scrutinised by the local authority.

It said: “Representatives from each of the trusts identified will be present…to give the committee an opportunity to consider and comment on their performance in 2018/19 and the priorities identified for quality improvement in 2019/20.”

The meeting will take place at the Civic Centre in Hartlepool from 10am on Thursday.
