All welcome at NHS Board meeting - November 8

The public are being invited to put questions to an NHS Trust Board responsible for overseeing community health services in Lincolnshire. 

Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust (LCHS) runs services across the whole of Lincolnshire, aiming to deliver great care, close to home. The trust helps patients to stay independent by providing treatment in the local community or in patients' own homes. 

LCHS also provides healthy lifestyle services across the county to prevent ill-health and ensuring the best outcomes for those with long-term conditions. You can find out full details of the services on the website.

The trust's Board shapes the direction, vision and purpose of the trust and ensures it delivers value for money services that improve the health of the local population.

Chair of LCHS, Elaine Baylis, said: "Our monthly Board meetings provide the public with an opportunity to find out more about the organisation, the services we provide and how well we are performing. The role of our Trust Board is to ensure that we are providing the highest quality of care and improving the health of local people by providing services that reflect the needs of the communities we serve.

"Engagement with our patients and local community is crucial and we actively encourage people to attend and listen to discussions. It offers insight on our performance and an update on wider issues within the NHS.

"We will also start the meeting with a question and answer session to give the public the chance to raise any issue they may have." 

The November meeting will take place at the trust's headquarters (Beech House, Witham Park, Waterside South, Lincoln, LN5 7JH) on Tuesday, November 8, at 1pm. 

There will be no Board meeting in December 2016.
