Council of Governors meetings

Our Council of Governors will meet at least four times a year.

In usual circumstances, Council of Governors’ meetings are held in public and therefore anyone is welcome to attend as an observer. There is also an opportunity to ask questions during the first 15 minutes of the meeting but only governors and invited guests may speak following this. 

Next meeting

The next Council of Governors' meeting will take place on Thursday 11 May 2023. If you would like to attend this or ask any questions prior to the meeting, please email lpft.governor-member@nhs.net by 5pm on Tuesday 9 May 2023.

Please see the document library below for any relevant meeting papers once published.

Important note:

In light of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) and in accordance with NHS England/Improvement’s advice, a decision was made to instigate emergency powers to manage Trust meetings. This has resulted in Council of Governors meetings being held online since April 2020, this will continue until such time as the Coronavirus precautions are no longer required. The majority of the trust meetings are now held online, and where necessary the frequency and agenda of meetings has been amended.

The most recent Council of Governors’ meeting was held on Thursday 9 February 2023 in the form of a video conference. A recording of the meeting was made and is available to watch now on YouTube by clicking here.
