Consultations on the future of Favell House and cutting foot care may have to start again if councillors vote in favour at a meeting this week.
Sally Beardsworth (Lib Dem, Kingsthorpe) has called in for scrutiny two controversial NHS reviews on podiatry and respite services, which have been heavily criticised by patients, carers and MPs for allegedly leaving the public little chance to have their views heard.
The Health, Adult Care and Wellbeing Scrutiny Committee will now discuss the issue on Thursday after which councillors can officially ask NHS Nene to redo the consultations.
The committee ultimately has the power to refer the matter for judicial review if it is unhappy with the process.
Michael Ellis, the MP for Northampton North, has also written to Health Minister Norman Lamb, alleging the Favell House consultation is ?a sham?.
