Some rules of etiquette regarding the meeting:

• Members of the public will be on ‘mute’ during the meeting.
• The Board welcomes questions from members of the public at the end of the agenda. When invited to ask questions, please use the ‘raise a hand’ function to indicate that you would like to ask a question and wait to be invited by the Chairman to speak.
• Please keep your question brief so as to allow others an opportunity to speak in the limited time available.
• Direct your question to the Chairman rather than individual directors.
• The Chairman reserves the right not to respond to questions which relate to matters that are the subject of current confidential discussions, commercial negotiations or legal action, or for any other reason at their discretion.

Committee in Common

The Committee in Common is a collaborative meeting between board committees from Kingston Hospital and Hounslow and Richmond Community Healthcare, with some delegated authority. The meeting is designed to facilitate collaborative working between the Trusts in order to improve healthcare in the hospital and community. As the Committee in Common will be also dealing with items that the Board has done in the past, the Board felt it was appropriate and transparent to hold these meetings in public. These are different to the agendas and content of other committee meetings. 

Committee in Common meeting dates:

• 26 October 2022
• 25 January 2023
• 29 March 2023
• 24 May 2023
• 26 July 2023
• 27 September 2023
• 29 November 2023
• 31 January 2024
• 20 March 2024
