The Portsmouth LINk held an AGM and Question Time event on the evening of Thursday 24th November at the John Pounds Centre, Portsea. Terry Carter, currently Acting Chair of the Steering Group, chaired the AGM and also acted as “question master” during the question time event.
All who attended felt that the AGM was well conducted with the adoption of the 2011 Chair’s Annual Report, The Financial Reports and the Minutes of the 2010 AGM. The Chair explained that the recently planned elections had not taken place due to there being an insufficient number of candidates. The LINk members who were present agreed, by a substantial majority, that the present Steering Group should meet to discuss the way forward, in the light of the LINk's Terms of Reference, and that they should then report back to the membership.
The Chair proposed a vote of thanks to the former LINk Chair, who had resigned and it was further agreed that a letter of thanks should be sent expressing the thanks of everyone, for the dedicated service that he had rendered. A vote of thanks was also proposed to the retiring Vice Chair and it was also agreed that a letter of thanks should be sent to her. Both of these proposals were carried unanimously.
Vascular Surgery was billed as the theme of the question time event and while this issue was raised it appeared that the audience also wanted to know about other subjects such as “appointments”, “wheelchair services”, “funding” and “end of life care” (to name a few).
