All Agendas, Papers and Minutes for the Trust's Board of Directors are available on the links below.

Board papers are available on our website four working days before the Board meeting.  Details of all meetings, together with agendas, papers and minutes, are available at the bottom of this page.

The Trust is committed to being open and transparent and, as a result, uploads as many appropriate documents as possible.  However, please note, where a document contains commercially sensitive details (e.g. business cases) or confidential information (e.g. patient identifiable), they will not be uploaded or will have these elements removed.

Do you have a question for the Board of Directors about an item on the agenda?

The Trust welcomes questions from the public at its formal Board meetings, held in public. Questions should relate to the papers under discussion that day and must be submitted in advance of the meeting, no later than the preceding Tuesday to Corporate.Governance@mcht.nhs.uk . 

Questions will be read out by the Board and where possible a response provided; if a question requires a lengthy response, this will be taken forward outside of the meeting.

All questions asked at Board meetings, together with the responses provided, will subsequently be available on our website.

The Chair reserves the right to refuse any question that:

  • is not within the powers and duties of the Trust / Board to answer
  • is defamatory or offensive, or related to individual members of staff
  • would require the disclosure of confidential or exempt information
  • is substantially the same as a question that has previously been answered
