2 Foreword from the Chair
I would like to provide assurance to the assembled that NHS Tower Hamlets Clinical Commissioning Group has taken several steps to ensure that it conducts business in a transparent fashion with improving the health of the local population at the heart of its decision making.
The CCG values the breadth and depth of the interests of its Governing Body members and employees; it sees this as testament to the talent and expertise that the CCG can draw upon in delivery of its objectives.
The steps taken are documented within our constitution and our conflicts of interest policy. In summary, the steps are:
• Firstly, all Governing Body members have received extensive training and development on the subject of conflicts of interest.
• Secondly, all Governing Body members complete an annual declaration of interests at the start of the financial year, NHS TH CCG is goes one step further and asks all new starters, whether on the Governing Body or not to declare any interests.
• Thirdly, at every Governing Body meeting and its Committees and sub-committees; has “Conflicts of Interest” on the agenda where attendees declare any interests not recorded.
• The Chairs of each meeting are clear on the courses of action available to them in the event of an interest having a perceived or actual impact on decision making.
The register of interests is available on our website and available on request from the Governance and Risk Manager.
