Although the charity was a separate entity from the Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust, there may be occasions where it would be inappropriate to take part in discussions of certain topics. In addition, Councillors Jo Stewart’s spouse was Head of Contract Management at the Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust.
