The Chairman stated that throughout the pandemic, all non-confidential papers and summaries of the Board’s non-confidential minutes had been made available publicly, with Board agendas and minutes shared with governors throughout, via the Governor Portal, alongside a Chair’s Feedback to governors after each Board meeting. The Chairman confirmed the meeting today, was arranged in two parts: o Part 1 - All non-confidential matters, and o Part 2 - All confidential matters. The Chairman stated that the Part 1 agenda, papers and minutes were available to the public via the websites. The Chairman concluded that, from September 2020, the Board would have arrangements in place for members of the public (and staff) to register to observe the meeting, as it is happening, via MS Teams, and that this would be communicated to staff and the public via the website. Arrangements - Non-Executive Directors The Chairman confirmed that arrangements were being made for all non- executive directors to connect informally with each of the Care Organisation leadership teams, with similar opportunity with the leadership teams of Diagnostics & Pharmacy, Estates and Facilities, Digital and other corporate functions. Professor of Nursing The Chairman confirmed the Northern Care Alliance NHS Group (NCA) had developed a proposal with the University of Salford for a Professor of Nursing position, and confirmed that this position had now been established and appointed to.

NCA # 274090 2. Matters for Decision: 09/25/2020 10:33:46 2.1 Group Board Assurance Framework 2020/21 2/13 4/163 The Chief Executive Officer presented a paper describing the transition from the interim Group Board Assurance Framework, detailing significant high-level risks against the delivery of the interim objectives, to the current Group Board Assurance Framework (BAF) 2020/21 as presented. He confirmed that the Group Board had approved the NCA’s strategic priorities and principal objectives and deliverables for 2020/21 at its meeting in June 2020, and presented the principal risks to the delivery of these objectives, along with controls, assurances and required actions. The Chief Executive Officer confirmed that the newly created Group BAF reflected the updated position of the previous interim principal risks and reassessment of the principal risks identified prior to the pandemic (2019/20). The Chief Executive Officer confirmed that, in line with the NCA’s principal objectives, the Care Organisations and the Group Diagnostics & Pharmacy (D&P) Business Unit had established their objectives for 2020/21, and from this developed their BAFs. He added that the most significant risks (scored at 12 and above) identified by the Care Organisations and D&P had been aligned to the Group’s principal risks, influenced the risk assessments that had taken place at Group-level, and incorporated explicitly within the Group BAF. The Chief Executive Officer confirmed that the NCA’s current risk appetite was stated within the Group BAF, and expressed his view that further development, in light of the current context, may be valuable for the Group Board. A Non- Executive Director welcomed the opportunity for further debate with respect to risk appetite. Additionally, the Non-Executive Director sought further information with respect to the Infection Prevention Control (IPC) risk, specifically seeking view on a target risk score of 12 (significant risk), albeit the NCA’s risk appetite was to not tolerate risks to patient safety. The Chief Medical Officer acknowledged this comment, highlighting the suite of measures, controls and assurances in place with respect to IPC, as recognised as compliant via the CQC. The Chief Medical Officer expressed his view that further assurance with respect to the reliability of measures in place was required, therefore the current risk was scored as 13, with a target risk score of 12 by the end of September 2020, in light of the need to ensure reliability throughout the suite of measures beyond this. The Senior Independent Director highlighted inconsistency in the risk score related to medical education between the summary paper and Group BAF. The Group Secretary confirmed consistency in scoring would be corrected. The Chairman concluded the discussion, further highlighting the value of Chief Group Board exploring risk appetite with respect to the Group BAF.
