There are 8 County Councillors on the 16 member Joint Health committee (the County Council and Nottingham City Council have eight seats each.)

Responsibility for the management of the joint committee alternates between the County Council and Nottingham City Council based on the municipal year.

Meetings are usually open for the public to attend. Further information on each of these meetings, including time and venue, can be found in the Council Diary.
