Questions to the Trust Board from members of the public
To ask a question on matters relating to the agenda of any board meeting, please advise the Associate Director of Corporate Affairs of the question by 9am on the Monday preceding the meeting by emailing: iownt.
You should be aware that it may not be possible for an answer to be given at the meeting due to time or other constraints, in which case written answers will be given within 7 days.
Questions may not be answered when the Chair considers that they:
-
are not on any matter that is within the powers and duties of the Trust
-
are frivolous or defamatory
- are substantially the same as a question that has been put to a meeting of the Trust Board in the past 6 months
- would require the disclosure of confidential or exempt information.
