Local Reporting

Through the NHS Golden Jubilee Health Care Staffing Programme Board, a local method and schedule for reporting has been agreed.

Assurance reports are provided from clinical leads to the Healthcare Staffing Programme Lead Nurse, and these are combined to develop the Board wide quarterly report.

These reports will cover all relevant health duties within the Act for each profession, providing assurance on the Board’s progress and achievement of compliance with the Act. This report provides a summary of the Board’s current position (end of Q3) against the legislative duties.
