Ministry of Defence and Department of Health Partnership Board

Mr. Harper
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence when the Ministry of Defence and Department of Health Partnership Board was set up; how many times it has met; and if he will place in the Library the minutes of its meetings.

Derek Twigg
The Ministry of Defence and Department of Health Partnership Board first met on 8 April 2003. It convenes approximately three times a year, and to date, there have been a total of 12 meetings. We intend to publish the minutes of all Partnership Board meetings under the MOD’s freedom of information publication scheme.
