Health & Social Care Fringe

The Health and Social Care Fringe meetings follow on from the quarterly meetings of THE Voluntary Sector Forum. The meeting is open to any organisation that is interested in the wider issues relating to health and social care. The purpose of the meeting is to make information relating to the health and well-being agenda available to as wide a range of groups as possible. Regular items include updates on Personalisation and the Health and Well Being Board. Click on the links to go to the latest information.

The next meeting will be from 12.00 noon to 1.00 pm following THE Voluntary Sector Forum meeting on Thursday 26 April 2012.

If you wish to attend this meeting but are unable to attend the earlier meeting of The Voluntary Sector Forum, please book a place with Kath Cawdell on 01332 227733 or via email
