The standing financial instructions set out the arrangements for financial systems and good financial governance within the trust.

Our core governance documents provide details on how the trust is managed and governed. All NHS trusts are required by law to have standing orders as they regulate how the Board of Directors operates and how the trust is governed. The Reservations of Powers to the Board details the decisions that are reserved for the Board of Directors. The Scheme of Delegation details the levels of delegation the Board provides to employees and committees. These document have been consolidated to provide a single source of the key rules under which the trust is managed and governed.
