Next Steps… further work • Finalisation of formal contractual position • Separation of support infrastructure • Drafting of partnership and secondment agreement agreements • Formal consultation with staff • Communicating with the public
Next Steps… further work • Decision from North of Tyne NHS boards agreed “in principle” • Scrutiny committee 19 November 2009 and Executive 30 November 2009 • Further work to agree arrangements, prepare further board and executive report planning for implementation by 31 March 2010 • Clarity Governance arrangements e.g. audit, NHS link, CQC registration
