In May 2020, Combined Healthcare was proud to launch a new online facility as part of its ongoing commitment to openness, transparency and innovation.
Using our unique ‘Ask the Board’ facility anyone can use a webform – available by clicking here – to make a comment or suggestion or ask a question in advance of each Open Trust Board meeting. A response is provided as part of the Chair’s Report to the Board meeting, which are publicly available as videos shortly after the meeting.
The archive of previously asked questions and our responses is provided below, together with a link to the relevant filmed response.
How to search the archive
You can search all responses or filter by the name of the person asking the question or a date range of Board meetings.
You can also do a full word search of any comments, questions or suggestions.

I recently attended your Engagement Event at Port Vale. It was a great opportunity to get involved with interactive debates, hearing from experts and networking with new and potential partners.
A key detail I picked up on was how you are starting to engage with isolated communities, for example, visiting a farmers market. Please can you share how you intend to reach the homeless community? This demographic is disproportionately affected by mental health, substance misuse, and homelessness which are inextricably linked.
