2 IMPACT Category Financial implications including value for money to LCP. Is there an effect? Yes No Further Information (if there is an effect, either briefly explain what it is, or point to the section of the report which discusses it in more detail) The SFIs and Treasury Management Policy have financial implications. Is there a potential risk or legal implication to LCP. Is there any Health Benefits for the population of Kirklees? Equality Impact Assessment Quality Impact Assessment Are there any staffing implications or training needs? Consultation with sub committees and key stakeholders. Patient Safety Implications Method of Communicating report contents to staff and/or stakeholders. Inaccurate or out of date policies could leave Locala vulnerable to legal challenge. Some of the policies e.g. prescribing, SUI and safeguarding have benefits to the Locala population. The Diversity/Equal Opportunities policy relates specifically to this issue, but others have an impact here too e.g. safeguarding. QIAs will need to be completed where appropriate Training requirements will be considered on a case by case basis at the time. All policies will need the scrutiny and support of Locala s Policy Group or Partnership Forum. If the policy is shared with partner organisations any changes we feel appropriate will need to be agreed with them before coming to Board. SUI and Safeguarding policies have a direct impact on patient safety. Policies should be published on the intranet. Notification of their availability should be handled via Locala Live notwithstanding any training requirements. Communicating this. What consultation has taken place with: sub committees; Members Council and/or Partnership Forum; external stakeholders? Following this meeting who and what now needs to be informed about this? NB: Consider all relevant parties e.g. Members Council & Partnership Forum. N/A Policies will be uploaded on the Elsie.
