Trust Board meetings are held in public ten times a year. The meetings commence at 10am and the venues for these meetings rotate around Lancaster Kendal and Barrow. Any variation to this time will be shown on the agendas for the meetings. 

Staff, patients, the media and members of the public are welcome to attend these meetings but must be aware that although the meeting is held in public, it is not a public meeting. Members of the public and media do not have speaking rights. Public members and the media do not sit at the Board room table. Allocated seating is provided. For more specific information regarding the Code of Conduct for public members at Board meetings, please contact the Company Secretary on 01539 716684.

In relation to posting agendas, all matters to be acted on by the Board will be posted on the this page at least three working days prior to the Board meeting and will be made available online 24 hours a day. In urgent cases when a subject matter needs immediate action or comes to the attention of the Board subsequent to the posting of the agenda, the Board may act on an item that was not on the posted agenda under ‘Any other Business’. Any supplementary agenda items will also be posted on the Trust’s website.

There are occasions when the Board will need to consider agenda items which are confidential and cannot be discussed in public and this will be explained on the agenda and by the Chair of the meeting.
