Our clinical governance structure is designed to enable the clinical board to maintain a strategic focus, work across all the DHB functions, not just the hospital, and to ensure all clinical governance activities are well co-ordinated and connected. Vital to the clinical governance arrangements are the service or topic-specific committees. It is in these committees and groups that the real work on continuing to improve patient safety and the quality of our services needs to take place.
