Members discussed where the plan should sit in terms of ownership and at what level it was being monitored. It was agreed that the Clinical Practice Lead and Deputy Director of Medical and Clinical Services would confirm to the Committee how the CCC action plan was to be monitored and scrutinised as the Organisational Learning Group starts to be rolled out, an update will be expected at the next meeting.
