<p>National Health Service trust boards and all other NHS boards are required to hold
their meetings in public. The Public Bodies (Admission to Meetings) Act 1960 sets
out the requirement for most NHS bodies to have their meetings in public. NHS foundation
trusts and clinical commissioning groups are governed by the NHS Act 2006 (as amended
by the Health & Social Care Act 2012), which sets out similar requirements for
these bodies.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The public body may exclude the public
