Important information regarding Public Board meetings during the COVID-19 pandemic
In respect of the restrictions introduced by the Government to limit the spread of COVID-19, face-to-face meetings involving members of the public cannot take place; during this period of heightened pressure on NHS Trusts, agendas for our Board meetings will also be streamlined to the most critical business.
The Trust is committed to maintaining transparency and accountability to the public during this period and we will continue to publish the papers for our public Board meetings on our website and welcome questions from the public This email address is being protected from spambots.

We will publish answers to any questions from members of the public as soon after the board meeting as practicable.

In the spirit of openness the Board details below the typical matters which will be discussed in closed session.
- any documents pertaining to litigation or potential litigation;
- anything that is potentially commercially sensitive (as well as commercially confidential) for either the Trust or a third party;
- any matter concerning an individual patient or member of staff;
- anything relating to data that may be adjudged "protected" under the Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA);
- Documents that may be exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
