Events

The views of Trust members are represented by our Council of Governors.  We have 30 Governors which are made up of: 16 Public Governors; 9 for the East Riding of Yorkshire, 6 for Hull, one for the Yorkshire and Humber region, 9 Nominated Governors and 5 Staff Governors. More than half of the Council of Governors are elected by local people. 

Nominated Governors include representatives of local partnership organisations. They give up their time voluntarily and do not ’run the Trust’. The Trust is run by the Board but the Governors can influence their decisions and represent the views of our members.

The Council of Governors is chaired by our Trust Chairman, Sharon Mays and meets 4 times a year. The meetings are open to the public

All meetings will be held in the Conference Room at:

Trust Headquarters
Willerby Hill
Beverley Road
Willerby
East Riding of Yorkshire

The Independent Strategic Advisory Body (ISAB) will meet in person four times a year and the meetings will be open to the public. The role of these meetings will be to set the strategic workplan for Healthwatch East Riding and to check the delivery against that workplan at key stages.

Our ISAB meetings are every quarter with the next meeting taking place
at

Brough Business Centre, Skillings Lane, Brough, HU15 1EN

All meetings are open to members of the public to attend as observers.

Under the Health and Social Care Act 2012, local authorities are required to have in place and service a Health and Wellbeing Board.

The East Riding Health and Wellbeing Board has a number of delegated powers.  These include the following:

1. To prepare a Joint Strategic Needs Assessment 

2. To prepare a joint Health and Wellbeing Strategy 

3. To respond to consultations from Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) on their draft commissioning plans and amendments to those plans 

4. To respond to consultations from Clinical Commissioning Groups on their annual report

5. To respond to consultations from the NHS England (external website) in a performance assessment in relation to a clinical commissioning group 

6. To assess and publish a Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (external website) for the East Riding

The Board's full terms of reference and delegated functions can be viewed in the council's constitution.

Health and Wellbeing Boards have a duty to encourage integrated commissioning between health, social care and public health by bringing together representatives of these sectors. 

The Health and Wellbeing Board became fully operational with all necessary powers on 1 April 2013 following the abolition of the Primary Care Trusts (PCTs). 

The Health and Wellbeing Board is subject to scrutiny from the Health, Care and Wellbeing Overview and Scrutiny Sub-Committee.

More information on the Health and Wellbeing Board can be found at: http://www2.eastriding.gov.uk/council/committees/health-and-wellbeing-board/

Meetings are open to the public but there may be some matters which will be considered in private. During such situations members of the public will be asked to leave the meeting at this point. The circumstances under which we can consider matters in private are tightly controlled by law.

Prior to the start of each meeting there is a period of up to 20 minutes for members of the public who have registered in advance to raise a particular matter or ask a question - a maximum of three minutes per person will be allocated.
