Agenda item - Declarations of substitutes and interests and exclusions

The Chair of the Board will formally ask if anyone is attending to represent another member, and if anyone has a personal and/or financial interest in anything being discussed at the meeting.  The Board will then consider whether any of the discussions to be held need to be in private.

38(a)   Apologies

38.1    Apologies were received from Graham Bartlett, Brighton and Hove Local Safeguarding Adults Board and Chris Robson, Brighton and Hove Local Safeguarding Children Board

38(b)   Declarations of Substitutes, Interests and Exclusions

38.2    There were none.

38c     Exclusion of press and public

38.3    28.3    In accordance with Section 100A of the Local Government Act 1972 (“the Act”), the Health and Wellbeing Board considered whether the public should be excluded from the meeting during consideration of any item of business on the grounds that it is likely in view of the business to be transacted or the nature of the proceedings, that if members of the public were present during it, there would be disclosure to them of confidential information as defined in Section 100A (3) of the Act.

38.4    It was noted that Item 47 contained exempt information which would have needed to be considered whilst the press and public were excluded from the meeting. It had been agreed however that in view of the late release of this item it would now be considered at a special meeting of the Board the details of which would be confirmed as soon as possible.

38.5    RESOLVED - That the public are not excluded from any item of business on the agenda.

38.6    The Chair explained that this meeting although being webcast would not be available to watch live, although once uploaded would be available for repeated future viewing.
