1. CCG Constitutions
The Constitutions set out the arrangements made by the NHS Mansfield and Ashfield CCG and NHS Newark and Sherwood CCG to meet their responsibilities for commissioning care for the people within our areas.
They describe the governing principles, rules and procedures that the CCGs have established to ensure probity and accountability in the day to day running of the CCGs to ensure that decisions are taken in an open and transparent way and that the interests of patients and the public remain central to the goals of the CCGs.
The Constitutions include:
The Standing Orders set out the arrangements for meetings and the appointment processes to elect the Group’s representatives and appoint to the Group’s committees, including the Governing Body.
The prime financial policies.
The Scheme of Reservation and Delegation, which sets out those decisions that are reserved for the membership as a whole and those decisions that are the responsibilities of the Group’s Governing Bodies, the Governing Bodies’ sub-committees, and individual members and employees.
Updating of the ConstitutionThe CCG’s Constitution is updated twice yearly in November and June, or where a variation is essential to the CCG being able to undertake its function lawfully. The application to accept the updated Constitution is made to NHS England following agreement by the CCG’s member practices and the Governing Body. Member practices receive an annotated copy of the Constitution with a covering note explaining the need for the variation, asking them to agree to the changes.
A link to the CCGs’ Constitutions can be found on their respective websites.

3. Management of Meetings
Declarations of InterestThe following points should be noted when chairing meetings where actual or potential conflicts could arise.
Conflicts of interest in relation to the agenda items must be reviewed by the chair in advance of the meeting and a review of the existing declarations by members must always be part of the agenda, before any business is conducted. The response of members must be recorded by the minute taker. When recording declarations of interest the following record should be made: Who is conflicted The nature of the actual or potential conflict The items on the agenda which the conflict relates to How the conflict was agreed to be managed and Evidence that the conflict has been managed as intended.
If there is any doubt as to whether a conflict of interest could arise, this is to be noted in the minutes.
The CCG’s Conflicts of Interest Policy can be found www.mansfieldandashfieldccg.nhs.uk/index.php/governance-and-policy .
QuoracyThe chair should retain a copy of the current terms of reference for the meeting for reference during the meeting. If the meeting is not quorate, a decision from the following options should be discussed and recorded accurately within the meeting:
1. Note that the meeting is NOT quorate, and continue the meeting, affirming that there are no decisions to be made in the meeting, and that discussions can be ratified at a subsequent meeting.
2. Note that the meeting is NOT quorate, and continue the meeting, referring any decisions to another committee for consideration and formal ratification, normally the subsequent quorate meeting, OR the Governing Body.
3. Defer the meeting until such time as quoracy can be maintained.
Risk ManagementThe Governing Body had overall responsibility for managing risks, however each sub-committee is responsible for the management and updating of risks that affect or impact on their respective portfolios, as detailed in the CCG’s Assurance Framework and Risk Register. The Risk Register should form a standing item on every sub-committee agenda.
The CCG’s Risk Management Policy can be found at www.mansfieldandashfieldccg.nhs.uk/index.php/governance-and-policy.
AdministrationThe corporate agenda template for CCG committees can be found at Annex 2.
All papers for committees should be drafted on a template (Annex 3) that alerts the committee members as to the purpose of the papers, the decision to be made, to note any potential conflicts of interest and to confirm the confidentiality of the material to be discussed.
The chairs and administrators of the governing bodies and its sub-committees can be found below:

4. Terms of Reference
Terms of Reference provide the purpose, objectives, remit and scope of the Governing Body and its sub-committees.
The Terms of Reference for each committee are updated on an annual basis or when there is a material change in the committee’s remit or membership; and consequently this manual will be updated as necessary. The Governing Body ratifies the sub-committees’ Terms of Reference. When the Committee has approved an updated Terms of Reference it should be sent to the Corporate Governance Team for inclusion in the papers for the next Governing Body meeting.
The template for committee Terms of Reference can be found at Annex 4 and the review cycle can be found at Annex 5..
5. Development and Management of Policies
Once a policy or procedure had been drafted or updated it will require the approval and ratification of the relevant Committees for the policy area (see Annex 6). A database of CCG policies is maintained by the Corporate Governance Team to ensure that policies are renewed in a timely manner.
CCG policies can be found on the websites at:http://www.mansfieldandashfieldccg.nhs.uk/about-us/policies-and-procedures/http://www.newarkandsherwoodccg.nhs.uk/about-us/policies-and-procedures/
7V3 December17
Guidance on drafting and approval of policies and the policy template can be obtained from the Corporate Governance Team.
6. Business Case Approval ProcessThe management of the business case process rests with the Turnaround PMO. All business cases are required to be discussed at the Financial Review Group, which gives authority to proceed to a decision-making Committee. See process map at Annex 7.
7. Further GuidanceFurther guidance on Corporate Governance matters can be sought from the Head of Corporate Governance, Ruth Lloyd ([email protected])

HOW DOES THIS CONTRIBUTE TO THE OUTCOMES AND OBJECTIVES OF THE CCG:
Quality Health Financial Clinical Performance (tick as appropriate)
CONFLICTS OF INTEREST:
This is a recommended action to be agreed by the Chair at the beginning of the item. No conflict identified Conflict noted, conflicted party can participate in discussion but not decision (see below) Conflict noted, conflicted party can remain but not participate (see below) Conflicted party is excluded from discussion (see below)
Please state rationale for decision
Advice regarding conflicts of interest is available from the Corporate Governance Team, or here:
https://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/coi-annex-k.docx
CONFIDENTIALITY:
The CCGs are required to conduct the majority of their business in open session, as an accountable body for the use of public funds.
Where a paper is to be accepted onto the confidential agenda, this is to be agreed with the Chief Officer.
Is the information in this paper confidential? No Yes
14V3 December17
If the paper is considered confidential, please tick the relevant box. Does it contain personal information e.g. regarding a patient, member of staff or another individual?
Is the CCG in commercial negotiations or about to enter into a procurement exercise and would the information in the report prejudice the CCG's position if made public e.g. by declaring the budget available for a particular contract in advance of a tendering exercise or indicating what the CCG's fall-back position might be in a negotiation situation?
Does the report include commercial in confidence information about a third party? - this would need to be relatively detailed information which could be argued to give a competitor an advantage if it was made available to them i.e. the total value of a contract awarded to a supplier or the value of a tender could not be considered commercial in confidence but details of how a supplier performs a particular process or the day rate for different grades of consultancy staff might be considered confidential.
Does the report contain information which has been provided to the CCG in confidence by a third party and is there a risk that the third party could take legal action for a breach of confidence if it was disclosed?
Does the discussion relate to policy development not yet formalised by the organisation and if the discussion were made public would this hamper full and frank discussion and therefore adequate consideration and development of proposal? This is intended for matters that are considered at a Board meeting early in the process to obtain initial thoughts and to give officers a steer in developing the policy. It would not be appropriate to use this argument where the governing body is being asked to approve a policy or initiative as this would be too late to argue that policy development was still on-going.
Has the document/report been produced by another public body which has chosen not to make the document publicly available and would not wish the CCG to do so?
Is the document in draft form which will publically available at a future date?
Note: Upon request for the release of a paper deemed confidential, under Section 36 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000, parts or all of the paper will be considered for release by the CCG’s ‘Qualified Person’ based on the circumstances at that time.

Where a declaration of interest means that there is an actual or a suspected conflict of interest, the conflict must be identified by the Chair and Administrative Support at the agenda setting stage of meeting planning.
