How to attend an ICB Board meeting in Essex
The Chair leads each Board meeting, and Board members review, discuss, and make decisions on NHS services in Essex. Members of the public may attend and observe, subject to available space.
To attend, complete the registration form on the relevant event page. This process helps us manage attendance and share important information before the meeting.
The Board meets in public to conduct its formal business. Members of the public observe the meeting but do not take part in Board discussions.
We publish meeting papers and minutes on our website so you can review decisions and discussions at any time.
Watch an ICB Board meeting Essex livestream
We livestream every ICB Board meeting Essex holds on our YouTube channel. This allows anyone across Essex to watch remotely and stay informed.

Submitting a question to the Board
Members of the public may submit one question per meeting. Your question must relate directly to the published agenda.
Send your question at least three working days before the meeting.
You can submit your question by:
- Email:[email protected]

The Chair will answer questions during the meeting where possible. We will send a written response after the meeting if we cannot answer your question on the day.
The Chair may limit the number of questions to ensure the meeting runs effectively.
Please do not submit questions about personal health matters. Instead, contact the appropriate NHS service for support.
