Issue - meetings

This report informed Members of the Advisory Board of the current situation regarding Foundation/Trust proposals.  During discussion, Mr Crowther said that in relation to the proposals to establish an Academy on the Isle of Sheppey, local Members other than those immediately affected should be included in the consultation process.  Dr Craig said that he understood the point that was being made but when undertaking consultations there had to be some discretion and flexibility as to how wide in terms of area the consultation process went.
