Most debates take place in public. This only changes when there is a need to consider certain issues, for instance, commercially sensitive information or details concerning an individual. You will be told at this point whether there are any items on the Agenda which are to be discussed in private.

That all items be considered in public session.

The committee will receive any petitions and hear any deputations from members of the public. A deputation is where up to five people can attend the meeting ad make a presentation on some particular issue of concern. A member of the public can also hand in a petition at the meeting but that petition should relate to something on which

the body has powers and responsibilities.

The Committee received deputations from the following people regarding the proposals for the provision of hospital services in Calderdale and Greater Huddersfield:

Cristina George (Hands off HRI Campaign Group)

Colin Hutchinson ((Calderdale 38 degrees NHS Group)
