The CCG takes very seriously the effective management of declared interests and any conflicts that arise from them.
Conflicts of interest may arise where an individual’s personal interests or loyalties or those of a connected person (a relative, close friend or business associate) conflict with those of the CCG. Such conflicts may create problems such as inhibiting free discussions which could result in decisions or actions being taken which are not in the interests of the CCG, and risk giving the impression that the CCG has acted improperly.
In order to ensure, and be able to evidence that the CCG makes decisions that are based on securing the best possible services for the population it serves, the CCG aims to demonstrate accountability to relevant stakeholders (particularly the public), probity and transparency in the decision-making process.
