Joint Health Committee with Cumbria
Members of the public are welcome to attend our meetings to watch them in person at any of the venues across the County. Publicly accessible meetings held in County Hall will be webcast, and we encourage people to view them that way. If you want to attend a meeting in person at any of the venues, note that there may not be space to maintain a social distance from others in the meeting room. We respect your individual choice whether to wear a mask – they are not mandatory, but some people feel more comfortable wearing one. You should not attend if you have tested positive for Coronavirus or if you have any symptoms of Coronavirus.
Anyone wanting to attend a meeting in person should contact us first at democratic.services@lancashire.gov.uk.
Purpose of committee
The Cumbria and Lancashire Joint Health Scrutiny Committee meets on an ad hoc basis. Agendas and minutes of meetings are hosted on Cumbria County Council's website.
