PRESENTATION OF COMPLIANCE AGAINST THE STANDARDS
FOR BETTER HEALTH CORE STANDARDS
Welcome to Members of the Haringey Overview and
Scrutiny Committee, Patient and Public
Involvement Forum and Community Group
Representatives

• The chosen seven standards have been met without
  significant lapses.
• Standards for which the assurances received by
  the Board make it clear that there have been
  significant lapses a statement for each standard
  that this applies to should be included in the
  declaration, together with the duration of any
  lapse and an outline of the action plan in place
  to correct the situation, including the predicted
  date by which the standard will be met. Where
  action plans are cited, it is not necessary to
  include a copy of them separately with the
  declaration.
• Standards for which a lack of assurance leaves
  the board unclear as to whether there have been
  significant lapses a statement for each standard
  that this applies to should be included in the
  declaration, together with an outline of the
  action plan in place to correct the situation,
  including the date by which assurance will be
  robust enough to determine compliance. Where
  action plans are cited, it is not necessary to
  include a copy of them separately with the
  declaration.

It is for Trust Boards to ultimately decide
whether a given lapse is significant or not.
However, in making the decision, the Healthcare
Commission anticipate that Boards will consider
the extent of risk to patients, staff and the
public, and the duration and impact of the lapse.
The declaration is not intended as a medium for
reporting isolated, trivial or purely technical
lapses in respect of the core standards.
