Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what guidance he has given to hospital trusts on the timing and manner of publication of agendas for board meetings; and if he will make a statement.

Answer

No specific guidance has been given to trusts on the timing and manner of publication of agendas for board meetings. However, last year the NHS Leadership Academy published The Healthy NHS Board 2013 - Principles for Good Governance, which advises on wider governance arrangements for trust boards, including board agenda planning and management.
