If anyone understands this gobblygook they are better at nonsense than me

"Integrated Governance is the means by which we pull together all the competing pressures on Boards and their supporting structures, to enable good governance. The move towards greater devolution in the NHS creates an opportunity for Boards to review their governance arrangements. As a key building block of good governance, Integrated Governance is a process that spans the various functional governance processes that are often unlinked and result in the handling of issues in silos"

Further down

" a set of Board etiquettes based on the Common Purpose programme and developed with NHS Boards; a Company Secretary role description; and an illustration of the role and remit of a strengthened audit committee. There is also a list of references and acknowledgements of the many contributors to the handbook."
