Attending the meetings

You are welcome to come to the meetings and listen to the discussions that take place. The public can join the meeting online via Microsoft Teams.

If you would like to attend the meeting to observe, please email us using sirona.board@nhs.net by 5pm on the Thursday before the meeting. You will be sent details of how to join the meeting. As a guest, you will not be able to speak, or turn on your microphone or camera, unless invited to by the Chair. We recommend that you download the free Microsoft Teams app in good time before the meeting starts, if do not have the app already.

The meetings are recorded but will not be made public.

If there are any media enquiries relating to the meeting please contact 0300 124 5401.

If you want to ask a question

A question may only be asked if it has been submitted in writing by midday on the Friday before the Board meeting.

Each question requested to be asked in public must give the name of the questioner (personal contact details will not be shared in public). If a question is being asked on behalf of an organisation then the name of the organisation must be stated.

How to submit your question

Written questions are to be submitted by email to sirona.board@nhs.net.  Please include ‘Question for Board’ in the subject line.  The question must be related to the Board agenda and papers.

If you need support in submitting a question to the Board, please contact 0300 124 5300 or email sirona.board@nhs.net and we shall be happy to assist you.

A question may be rejected if it:

  1. Is not about a matter on the Board agenda.
  2. Is defamatory, frivolous or offensive.
  3. Is substantially the same as a question asked within the last six months.
  4. Requests the disclosure of information which is confidential or exempt.
  5. Names, or clearly identifies, an individual.

Questions for Board meetings are published. By submitting a question to the Board, you are consenting to your name and your question being made public. See our privacy notice for more details on how your personal data is handled.

If you have questions about Sirona or our services that are not related to the Board agenda, please email us and we will direct your query to the relevant service.

A log of previously asked questions and answers will be available on this page within 14 days following the Board meeting in public. We reserve the right to share a precise version of the question.

No questions have been submitted to the Board this year to date.

 

Procedure

The Board sets aside time for questions to be answered and will answer as many questions from the public as possible within that time. The Chair will read out the questions. If you have submitted a question and you have attended the meeting to observe, the Chair may invite you to read out your question yourself. This will be confirmed with you in advance.

An answer will take the form of either:

  • An oral answer in the meeting; or
  • If the information required is not easily available, a written answer will be sent to the questioner and circulated to all members of the Board.
  • If it is not possible to answer all the questions in the allotted time on the agenda, individuals will receive a written response.

Copies of the questions asked at Board and the responses will be published on the website within 14 days.

If you have any further queries regarding our Board meetings, please contact the Corporate Governance Team on sirona.board@nhs.net.
