Notes

* means a meeting was held but no have record of the actual number of pages without a manual count.


The number of Board members invited and thus sets of papers produced will have varied over time but the following is a guideline:
  • There are 11 Statutory members of the Board
  • There are usually at least an additional 2 non statutory members
  • The Trust board secretary attends
  • There are some observers; currently PCT, patient panel representative and LINKs
So the usual number of sets of papers produced is 17.

Board members are all sent a hard copy of papers by post or courier.
