Half right, half wrong. PCG board meetings, like HA Board meetings are
open to the public. But, they do not have a right to speak. A PCG can write
into its constitution (I think) like HA boards, that if there is confidential
business then the public can be excluded for that part of the meeting.
Of course when PCGs become trusts, then, perhaps as with NHS Trusts
members of the public cannot attend.
