Advice Note for Members of Health and Social Care Integration Joint Boards
24th January 2025
Following a consultation, the Standards Commission has reviewed and updated its Advice Note for Members of Health and Social Care Integration Joint Boards (IJBs). The Advice Note aims to provide members of IJBs with an overview of their responsibilities under the ethical standards framework. It seeks to assist members in recognising and dealing with potential conflicts of interest to minimise the risk that such a conflict will erode effective governance and scrutiny arrangements. The Advice Note can be found here.
