Just like to raise a sugestion for theBusiness Continuity Policy. Now that the NHS CB will be a Category 1 Responder under the Civil Contingencies Act 2004, Should the requirement under the act to have business continuity for emergency response be included.
Thank you
Hi Barry
Thank you for your suggestion. The NHS CB takes both emergency response and business continuity seriously. Recognising the importance of these two critical functions in ensuring a resilient NHS as well meeting its requirements under the Civil Contingencies Act, the NHS Commissioning Board manages its resilience through NHS facing emergency response being the responsibility of the operations directorate, and internal business continuity management the responsibility of the corporate directorate. Both teams work together to ensure the NHS CB is a resilient organisation that can support the NHS manage a range of incidents to continue to provide patient care during major incidents.
Kind regards
Simon
