Minutes:
The Chair invited board members to declare any interests in relation to items on the agenda. No prejudicial interests were made however, for completeness, the Board noted a personal interest declared by the Chair, who was a trade union representative, which was recorded on the Trustees' Register of Interests. The Chair was advised that this was not a prejudicial interest and not relevant to the Pay Review Report as the decision did not involve Council staff.
