Information Governance Policies

Information Governance (IG) ensures that personal information is dealt with legally, securely, efficiently and effectively. Information is a vital asset, both in terms of the clinical management of individual patients and the efficient management of services and resources. It plays a key part in all areas of the Health Board's operations including (but not restricted to) delivering healthcare to patients, clinical governance, risk management, corporate governance, informatics, service planning and delivery and performance management and intelligence.
 
IG affects all employees and contractors of the Health Board, whether permanent or temporary. Everybody has responsibilities for IG on a day-to-day basis, whether they work in a clinical or non-clinical environment. Contractors are responsible for ensuring that they are aware of the requirements incumbent upon them and for ensuring that they comply with these.
 
It is of paramount importance to ensure that information is efficiently and legally managed and that appropriate policies, procedures and management accountability provide a robust governance framework for information management.

Our policies on Information Governance and Information Security, including Freedom of Information, Data Protection, Records Management, can be found under the Policies and Procedures part of our website following the link for Corporate Policies.
