The Francis report is a national inquiry report about the Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust which was carried out by Robert Francis QC

The role of the Council of Governors is to represent the views of the Trust’s members when decisions are made about the future of hospital services.

There are also six staff Governors who each represent a staff group, plus four appointed Governors from local organisations – The University of East Anglia, NHS Norfolk and Waveney, Norfolk County Council and a representative from the District Councils
