Board meetings and papers

Public Questions at Shropshire Community Health NHS Trust

Board meetings are held in public every other month on the first Thursday of the month at 10am. Meeting venues are published on the Trust’s website ahead of the meeting. Meetings take place at various venues across the Trust’s area to ensure that all service users are able to attend a meeting should they wish.

Submitting Your Question:

• Questions can be made in writing or via email to shropcom.publicquestions@nhs.net to be received by midday the day before the meeting
• Questions can be submitted on any matter within the powers and duties of the Trust
• If time allows after responding to written questions, the Chair will permit verbal questions on the day
  

At the Meeting:

• Public questions will be taken at the start of the meeting after the patient/staff story. Written questions will be taken first, followed by verbal questions if time allows.
• There will be a maximum of 30 minutes on the agenda for the public questions.
• Questions will be included in the minutes of the following meeting.
• Questions will be dealt in the order in which they were received. We will seek to give an overview of the response to the question, but a more detailed response to questions will be provided as part of the minutes which will be made available on the Trust’s website and directly in writing to the person who asked them following the meeting.
• Any questions received in writing after the midday deadline will be responded to by writing to the person directly and read out at the subsequent meeting in public.
• You may attend in person to listen to the feedback, the Chair will read questions whether you are in attendance or not. It is not possible to join the meeting virtually.
• You may not ask a supplementary question and there will be no opportunity for discussion on public questions.
