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.Questionsfortrustboard@nhs.net. This will enable a comprehensive response to be prepared.

Questions may not be answered when the Chair considers that they:

- 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
