The business of the Trust is to provide, in partnership with the community, a wide range of high quality health and social care services that are responsive to local need and within easy access for local people and patients within the Trust catchment area.

The Trust’s Corporate Plan details the aims and objectives for the Trust over a 3 year period.

The Trust’s short term (in year) planning is given in the Trust Delivery Plan. This plan illustrates how ‘Priorities for Action’ and the Health and Wellbeing plans of the region will be reflected in current services and service developments within the Ulster Community & Hospital Trust.

The Trust Board believes that its work should be made as transparent to local people and communities as possible and as such all meetings of the Trust Board are held in public. However there are occasions when due to the personal nature of business to be transacted discussions are held in a closed or confidential section of the meeting.

All meetings of the Trust Board are convened in accordance with the Health & Social Services Trust’s Membership and Proceedings Regulations (1994), Department Circular HSS/PPM 4/2001 – Public Access to meetings and standing orders. Meetings are publicly advertised and copies of the agenda, minutes and associated papers are issued to a wide range of interested parties in advance of the meetings.

Some of this information is of a personal and confidential nature and will be excluded as will any other confidential material. Material relating to the health and safety of specific individuals, as to law enforcement or criminal or regulatory enforcement or audit issues under certain circumstances may also be excluded from publication.
