Regulation and Governance

NHS Improvement

  
NHS Improvement (previously Monitor) regulates providers of NHS services and how they are governed. As a provider of services to the NHS, the Charity is required to be licensed by NHS Improvement. The standard licence conditions are grouped in to seven sections. Section 6 concerns NHS Improvement’s oversight of provider governance.

Certification against condition G6 of the Licence
Following a review for the purpose of paragraph 2(b) of licence condition G6, the Directors of the Licensee are satisfied that, from the date that the Licensee was granted a licence to the end of the most recent financial year, the Licensee took all such precautions as were necessary in order to comply with condition G6. This was certified by our Chief Financial Officer on 15 June 2017.

Certification against Continuity of Services
After making enquiries the Directors of the Licensee have a reasonable expectation that the Licensee will have the Required Resources to it after taking account of distributions which might reasonably be expected to be declared or paid for a period of 12 months. In making this statement the Executive Team have considered the level of current and likely future demand for Commissioner Requested Services; the availability of appropriately skilled workforces; the availability of facilities and the availability of working capital and other financial resources. This was certified by our Chief Financial Officer on 30 May 2017.

Annual Accounts
Each year we submit our annual accounts to the Charity Commission and Companies Registry.
