Information Governance review
The National Programme Board asked Harry Cayton, the National Director for Patients and the Public and Chair of the Care Record Development Board, to carry out a high level review of Information Governance in the Department of Health and the wider NHS.
The review and its recommendations have been approved by the National Programme Board, the Department of Health Management Board and are supported by Ministers.
The NHS Chief Executive has drawn the attention of Strategic Health Authority Chief Executives to the review in a recent letter.
A team led by Philip Brown, a senior manager in the Service Implementation Directorate and Senior Responsible Owner for Registrations, is taking forward the recommendations from the review and Harry Cayton retains an oversight.
