Written Question · S4W-28567 · Session 4
What action it is taking to ensure that the Staff Governance Standard Framework is being fully implemented by all NHS boards.
The question
To ask the Scottish Government what action it is taking to ensure that the Staff Governance Standard Framework is being fully implemented by all NHS boards.
The answer
Staff governance is one of the strands of the NHSScotland Governance Framework for which all boards are held accountable. Boards are therefore responsible for implementation of the Staff Governance Standard at a local level, and are accountable for local performance against the standard.
Following an internal local review of performance and progress towards the Staff Governance Standard all boards are required to complete a National Annual Monitoring Return and send to the Scottish Government annually.
The returns are then analysed by the Scottish Government under each strand of the Staff Governance Standard looking at points requiring further clarification, any areas of concern, as well as strengths and areas of good practice that can be spread across boards.
The outcomes of the 2015 staff governance monitoring process have been fed back to health board chief executives and HR directors.
