3 NHS Harrogate and Rural District Clinical Commissioning Group GOVERNING BODY ASSURANCE FRAMEWORK The Governing Body Assurance Framework (GBAF) for NHS Harrogate and Rural District CCG aims to identify the main risks to the delivery of the CCGs strategic objectives and its statutory obligations, as defined by the CCG Assurance Domains. The GBAF sets out the controls that have been put in place to manage the risks and the assurances that have been received that show if the controls are having the desired impact. It includes an action plan to further reduce the risks. Risks scored 12 and above that are aligned to the CCGs strategic objectives are included in the GBAF. All other risks scored 12 and above are included in the CCGs Corporate Risk Register. The GBAF is the key source of evidence that links strategic risks, controls and assurances and the main tool that the Governing Body should use in discharging its overall responsibility for internal control. For the Risk Matrix, see Appendix A. Strategic s The GBAF has been linked to the strategic objectives of the CCG (last revised February 2017) and the NHS England CCG Improvement and Assessment Framework assurance domains (last revised March 2016). NHS England has a statutory duty to conduct an annual performance assessment of every CCG. CCGs will be assessed in relation to four domains representing four key areas of their functions and responsibilities. These four domains are: 1 Better Health How the CCG is contributing towards improving the health and wellbeing of its population and bending the demand curve 2 Better Care Care redesign, NHS constitutional standards, NHS outcomes 3 Sustainability Financial balance and securing good value for patients 4 Leadership Quality of CCG leadership, quality of plans, work with partners, CCG governance arrangements. Harrogate and Rural District CCG Strategic s: 1 Quality, Safety and Continuous Improvement To ensure that the care we commission is of high quality/safe and sustainable, improves health outcomes and wellbeing and provides a good patient experience. 2 Better Value Healthcare To meet the economic challenges and changes in the NHS by commissioning efficient and cost effective services and better value healthcare. 3 Well Governed and Adaptable Organisation To be a well governed organisation with high standards of assurance, responsive to members and stakeholders in transforming services using innovative approaches to meet the future healthcare needs of our population. 4 Health and Wellbeing To shift the emphasis towards optimising opportunities for maintaining health and wellbeing, promoting patient responsibility to choose well, accessing the right services at the right time and in the most appropriate place, and empowering patients to be better able to self-manage their own long term conditions. 5 Active and Meaningful Engagement To work in close partnership with local people as well as all organisations that commission or provide care for our population to embed meaningful engagement into the CCGs decision making processes. 1 G overning Body Assurance Framework Version 0.7 DRAFT
