Organisational policies

As part of our commitment to being open and transparent organisation, you can view our organisational policies which include; finance, governance, health & safety, human resources and information governance.

Local Guidance Notes

We have also produced a set of local guidance notes to link in with existing policies. The purpose of the guidance notes is to:-

• focus on local arrangements on how we do things at the CCG;
• provide useful hints and tips;
• give suggested timescales for key actions as well as contact details should you need any further advice;
• add further support to applying best practice principles.
