Clinical governance
The term 'clinical governance' is used to describe the systems and processes by which trusts lead, direct and control their functions whilst delivering high standards of patient care. Governance is the responsibility of all Trust staff: to work to improve the safety, efficiency and effectiveness of the systems they operate and to report poor practice so that corrective action can be taken. More information can be found in the Board papers section on our website.

Audit reports
Each year the Audit Commission publishes the Auditors' Local Evaluation (ALE), which assesses how well NHS trusts manage and use their financial resources. The Audit Commission makes scored judgements on five key areas directly linked to the Code of Audit Practice. They are:
-
Financial reporting,
-
Financial management,
-
Financial standing,
-
Internal control,
-
Value for money.
As part of the process, our auditors produce an 'annual audit letter' that outlines any key issues that arose during the audit.
