Page 1 of 84 Handling Conflicts of Interest during meetings A guide for Chairs and attendees At any meeting where the subject matter leads a participant to believe that there could be a conflict of interest, this interest must be declared at the earliest convenient point in the meeting. This relates to their personal circumstances or anyone that they are aware of at the meeting. 1. Declarations of interests must be clearly identified within the minutes of the meeting, including any need to withdraw and reasons for not doing so. 2. As a rule, those with pecuniary interests should withdraw from the meeting and those with non-pecuniary interests could be allowed to stay, depending upon the circumstances. The Chair will determine whether there could be a matter of bias (any unfair regard with favour, or disfavour) in the matter. Members allowed to stay in the meeting may not be allowed to vote on the subject matter. 3. The Chair of the meeting must take a decision as to the need for the member of the meeting to withdraw or not from the proceedings. Where this may involve the Chair, the Deputy Chair/Vice Chair will take the decision. 4. If the Chair of a meeting is the person to whom the declaration of interests relates, the chair should vacate the seat and the meeting for that item. If there is no Deputy/Vice Chair present at the meeting, the meeting must first elect a chair from within their number by a show of hands. 5. Members of meetings who are employed by the NHS are subject to the existing NHS Codes of Conduct.

PC200106 COMMISSIONING & PROCUREMENT OF PRIMARY MEDICAL SERVICES Primary Care Risk Register The Primary Care Lead presented the Primary Care Risk Register. The purpose of the report was to provide an update to the Primary Care Commissioning Committee on the current Primary Care Risk Register, including recommended levels of assurance as at start of Quarter 4 (January 2020). The Primary Care Corporate Risk Register was presented to the Primary Care Commissioning Committee to provide assurance regarding the effective monitoring and management of Primary Care related risks. The Primary Care Lead noted the 4 current Primary Care Risks with 2 new risks. The new risks identified were:- • Risk 119PCC relating to the Primary Care Networks being unable to deliver key work programmes due to their maturity and development of the Network. • Risk 120 PCC relating to the proposed merger for Lime Grove and Haydock Medical Centre Page 5 of 84 3 It was reported that all other risk scores have remained static for the month of January 2020. With regard to the Haydock and Lime Grove merger, she reported that Dr Breach continues to work through the process for merger with a full engagement procedure planned. With regard to the Primary Care Network workforce, she reported that two of the Networks have appointed clinical pharmacists. She also reminded the Committee of the £50K available to develop more GP trainers in St Helens which the Team will continue to promote. The Clinical Accountable Officer suggested that the GP Practices that engaged with the Edge Hill University Medical School may be interested in the training. The Head of Primary Care informed the Committee of a ‘first five years’ group that identifies and supports GPs in the first 5 years training and attracts funding. The GP Governing Body Members reported that there are similar schemes already running in St Helens and proposed a ‘last 5 years’ scheme to support practices to future proof their practices when GPs are reaching retirement age. The Committee agreed that the GP pensions were also an issue. The Independent GP confirmed that similar issues were apparent in Halton, including workloads leading to GPs seeking retirement. The Clinical Accountable Officer highlighted the opportunity for GP Practices in St Helens to ‘court’ the new trainees from Edge Hill University Medical School to encourage them to stay in St Helens. The Committee discussed the importance of flexible working for many doctors in the current climate and the need to change public expectation of appointments. The Primary Care Lead reported that the team will continue to progress the work streams as outlined in the 5 year framework for GP Contract reform and continue to review and monitor the risks. NHS St Helens CCG Primary Care Commissioning Committee: • Approved the report PC200107 PRIMARY CARE FINANCE The Senior Finance Manager presented the Finance Report. The purpose of the report was to inform the Committee of the full year forecast outturn based on information at December 2019.
