Executives, Independent Members and employees are expected to act at all times with the utmost integrity and objectivity and in the best interests of the organisation in performing their duties, and to avoid situations where there may be a potential conflict of interest.
Executives, Independent Members and employees are required to declare any actual or potential interests which may be perceived as conflicting with that overriding requirement. Board Members are required to declare any personal or business interests they may have which may affect, or be perceived to affect, the conduct of their role as a Board Member. This includes any interests that may influence their judgement in the course of conducting the Board's business. Board Members must also declare any interests held by family members or persons or bodies with which they are connected.
The Register of Interests includes details of all Directorships and other relevant and material interests which have been declared by all employees of the Health Board.
The Register is held by the Board Secretary, and will be updated during the year, as appropriate, to record any new or changed interests including gifts, sponsorship and grants that have been declared across the Health Board by all employees.
The Register will be subject to an annual review.
