12IH – Duty to ensure adequate time given to clinical leaders

The NHS Golden Jubilee position for this this duty is limited (50%). This has increased marginally since the Q2 report, and was escalated through divisional operational teams. However, additional discussions with clinical leads self-reporting of this have taken place but it still remains our lowest duty compliance.

There continue to be challenges with allocating time for all clinical leaders. Clinical leaders are now monitoring this more closely, which provides an opportunity for review and improvement.
