Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks Enza. I found the same site as you but am unable to access it. All I get is the home page. I know the French have used the word "collège" but would you really say college for a part of the Board of Governors?

Explanation:
I think 'collège' here means what we call an 'electoral college' in English, i.e. an assembly that elects a representative, and so each sector elects and sends one or more representatives to the Board of Governers.

agree  cchat: I agree with "electoral college" Perhaps this type of document might help. http://www.sthct.nhs.uk/foundationStatus/Composition.pdf

  -> Thank you for the reference. It would seem from that document that a possible translation for 'collège' is 'constituency'.
