To note attendances, including Officers, and any apologies for absence.

The Committee noted apologies from Councillor Cooley (Manchester City Council).   The Chair explained that Councillor M Murphy was attending as substitute for Councillor Cooley and explained that there was currently one Liberal Democrat vacancy on the Manchester City Council membership for which no substitute was available.  The Chair noted that substitute members may attend the meeting and contribute to discussions but could only vote if they were attending in their capacity as a substitute.  The Committee welcomed its members, NHS representatives and members of the Save Trafford General Campaign in the public gallery.
