The Council of Governors is chaired by our Trust Chair, Lynne Hunt. They meet four times a year and the meetings are open to the public. The Board of Directors and Council of Governors work closely together. The Governors agree the strategic direction and key plans of the Trust and its services as well as representing the views of the Trust’s members. Their work ensures the needs of the patients, local population, and staff are fully considered in decisions made about the Trust. What do Governors do?
