Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, for each hospital trust in England, when that trust's governing body's regular or extraordinary meetings took place in the last six months; and whether each such meeting included a confidential section from which Healthwatch or the general public were excluded.

The Department does not hold information on these meetings centrally. It is for individual trusts and foundation trusts to manage regular and extraordinary meetings as appropriate for their organisation.
