Issue - meetings

To consider the organisational plan of University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire, which is included in the document pack.

The Chair advised that Justine Richards, Chief Strategy Officer had needed to leave the meeting due to its long duration and other commitments. Endeavours would be made to rearrange consideration of the UHCW organisational plan. It was suggested that members comments could be collated, considered by the Chair and submitted to UHCW as there may not be the opportunity to revisit this item at the next meeting in June. Otherwise, a retrospective look at the document may also be useful in providing feedback to UHCW. Another view was to seek a brief face to face meeting ahead of an existing meeting, or possibly to arrange a meeting via MS Teams.

A councillor considered that if reports could not be provided in full that they should be deferred to a future meeting. The Chair reminded of the timing constraints around the Quality Account (QA) document discussed under the previous item. The member reiterated that it could not be considered fully as it was incomplete. Paul Spencer provided background on the detailed consideration given to the QAs previously through task and finish groups  working with each provider trust and the two Healthwatch organisations for Coventry and Warwickshire. The QA documents were now circulated and any member feedback was collated and submitted to the Trust.
