Board meetings

The ICB Board meets bi-monthly, in person. You are welcome to attend our Board Meetings in Public. A meeting in public is where members of the public attend to observe the formal meeting. Observers are not permitted to join in the discussion or ask questions.

Capacity is on a first come first serve basis and where possible we would welcome prior notification of an intention to attend. If you wish to attend a Board Meeting in Public, please contact us at northantsicb.board@nhs.net.

Board meetings are held at the ICB Headquarters:

If attending in person, please report to the Reception at Haylock House (ground floor), you will then be directed for the meeting.

Meet the board

How do I submit a question to the board?

Members of the public who wish to ask a question of the ICB Board are asked to submit it at least three days (by 12 noon on the Monday before the date of the meeting). Relevant questions to the Board agenda may be submitted in advance and should be submitted to the Board Secretary Team here: northantsicb.board@nhs.net

Time is allocated a the start of each meeting for questions from the public.

If you have any financial interest in the subject of the question, this should be declared when the question is submitted. Complex questions or those which require particular research, or data retrieval or analysis may be deferred and answered at a future ICB Board meeting or directly in writing.

What questions are not accepted?

Grounds for not accepting public questions include, but are not limited to:

• it would cost too much or take too much staff time to deal with the question
• the question is vexatious
• the question has previously been answered by the ICB in the last six months and placed in the public domain
• the answer could prejudice a criminal investigation or commercial confidentiality
• the answer relates to personal data, which if released would be contrary to the Data Protection Act

The decision of the Chair of the ICB Board meeting on whether to accept a question and how it should be answered is final.
