Public Meetings Of Nhs Foundation Trusts (EDM128)

Public Meetings Of Nhs Foundation Trusts

EDM number 128 in 2008-09, proposed by John McDonnell on 04/12/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Freedom of information, Health services and Public administration.

That this House notes with concern that NHS foundation trusts are not required in law to meet in public, with the result that decisions that have a significant and direct impact on the provision of health services to local communities can be made by a board of directors meeting in secret; considers that this practice flies in the face of the principles of openness and transparency in health policy making; and welcomes the campaign by The Community Voice to draw attention to this issue and to call for a change in the current legislation to require NHS foundation trusts to meet in public.

This motion has been signed by a total of 36 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
