Board Meetings and Papers

Members of the public are welcome to attend our Board Meetings, either in person or via an MS Teams link (virtual).  If you would like to attend, please send a request in advance by email to: julie.hutchings@nhs.net

Notification of the meetings is sent out to our mailing list a week before the meetings whenever possible, together with the agenda for the meeting.  If you would like to be added to this mailing list, please contact: julie.hutchings@nhs.net

A slot for Public Questions is set aside during the meeting where you can ask questions or make comments on matters within NHS Somerset Integrated Care Board’s areas of responsibility.  It is essential that sufficient time remains for the conduct of normal ICB Board business and the opportunity for questions will be time limited.  Questions should therefore be succinct (and to a maximum of two minutes).

In order to respond as fully as possible, we ask that questions are submitted using the Public Questions form and sent to julie.hutchings@nhs.net by midday on the Monday preceding the meeting.

The Chair reserves the right to refuse any written question that is:

• Confidential or sensitive
• An individual complaint or matter relating to an individual’s healthcare
• Deemed to be overly political, defamatory or vexatious
• Substantially the same as a question that has previously been answered.

Further information can be found in our 'Guidance Notes for Members of the Public'.

The latest agenda and papers, including minutes of the previous meeting, are published under the relevant meeting date, as shown below.
