The public can ask questions during Council meetings. Normally, the Chair asks members of the public about these at the beginning of the public meeting so that directors can address them at the relevant time.

Any questions should be based on the agenda items. We ask that members of the public notify spft.corporategovernance@nhs.net in advance about a question they might like to ask so necessary enquiries can be made to provide a complete and satisfactory answer. This process ensures that your question is addressed most effectively. If the question cannot be answered at the meeting, it may be deferred to the next meeting or provided to the member of the public in correspondence.
