Minutes of the National Support Services Committee (NSSC) Meeting 4 March 2009. Attendees include Mrs E Boyd and Mr P Dolan. Issues include review of regular payment disbursements based on census and discussion of the Archer Inquiry report. Committee notes that it is unable to make any recommendations to the BoT on the report pending responses from The Haemophilia Society and the Department of Health. Also notes that the function of the Trust is not as an overt campaigner and that beneficiary expectations must not be raised unnecessarily. Policy issues considered include single grants risk elements in relation to secured loans registered by the Trust seasonal payments and a legal opinion from Iain Steel dated 16/02/2009. Applications for support cases reviews and first appeals considered and decided.
