Monitor consultaion on community service governance indicators
Up to General discussion on CFT application
Met with our Chair and a Non-exec today to go through our response.
Ref Q2 - Data. We basically disagree with the proposal to use data completeness as a proxy for good governance and have provided a rationale - which the chair and ned fully understand. They felt that we should be suggesteing an interim solution or alternative - which we haven't so far come up with. I was wondering if anyone else had any alternative proposals.
Best wishes

Hi Vivian,
I mentioned this to our Director of Clinical Performance and he responded as follows:
"I don’t completely agree with our London Colleagues. Data completeness and accuracy are essential for good governance as if you don’t know whats going on how can you manage it ? I think whats important here is that on the CFT journey, that there is a demonstrable improvement in the quality of information that Boards and management teams use to govern services and I don’t think that anyone would argue that an organisation that cant “see” 50% or more of its service lines accurately portrayed can manage its systems. So for me it’s the level of data completeness that would be used as a proxy not the principle."
I hope this helps?
Kind regards,
Jamie.
