He confirmed that NHS Chairs had discussed progress made by the Corporate Governance Steering Group, and the link to the work on active governance being led through the Board Development team at NHS Education for Scotland. It had been noted that the NHS Scotland Blueprint for Good Governance had first been introduced in 2019 and that a review of this would be timely and led through the Corporate Governance Steering Group.

The Chairs group had also received an update on strategic workforce planning for NHS Scotland, focused on the broader impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic in this area and emphasising potential impacts on staff wellbeing as well as in equality and diversity.

Ms Freeman’s team then provided updates in respect of the continued response to covid-19, in particular the rate of vaccination uptake nationally. NHS Chairs received a presentation on the development of the NHS performance framework especially around waiting times and the delivery of services within the context of Covid-19, and how the NHS could respond in new ways during the remobilisation phase. This underlined the importance of engaging with the public, particularly given the potential challenges ahead. The group also received a presentation considering new approaches to leadership and how to delivery change in innovative ways, taking a whole system approach and placing leaders in NHS Scotland in the wider overall context of the public sector. Finally, Mr McConnell noted the publication of the final report of the Independent Review of Forensic Mental Health, and that this was on the agenda in today’s meeting. The Board: 1.

He outlined the key aspects of work being progressed through the NHS Chief Executives Group including re-drafting of the memorandum of understanding relating the to the GMS contract as well as the classification of Chief Officers in territorial boards and integrated joint boards as first responders.
