Introduction DF welcomed both new and returning patients to the meeting at the practice’s new health centre. Numbers attending were positive and those present were thanked for attending the meeting and for giving up their valuable time. As was at least one patient who had not attended before, DF quickly went over the ground rules in that this was not a forum to discuss individual issues or problems, but a more general discussion about how services to patients could be improved and/or expanded. This will be continually reviewed on a meeting-by-meeting basis depending on if and when new members join. 2. Apologies Noted from JB, Dr Joseph, NA 3. Minutes of last meeting RB noted that the guest attending the meeting from Salford Citizen’s Advice Service was Caroline Ellicott (not Elliot) and ND queried the acknowledged to him in item 6 which “support” should have been listed as rather than DF “NB” “ND”…… apologised for these typing errors. DF gave a brief overview about issues from the last meeting in April 2017 and an update on the actions from that meeting.
