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.

A resident who has multiple conditions such as, Asbestosis and COPD but does not receive oxygen (and therefore does not fall under the immediate priority list) would like clarity on where they fall under the Covid-19 Priority Groups. Can an update be provided as to where they fall and how long they may likely have to wait (we appreciate this may not be possible to identify waiting timeframes).
