2. The Trust’s Assurance Framework This Annual Governance Statement details the arrangements in place for discharging the Chief Executive’s responsibility to manage and control Velindre NHS Trust’s resources, and the organisations which it hosts, during the financial year 2015/2016. Due to the unique Accountable Officer status of the Director of Shared Services Partnership (NWSSP) an Annual Governance Statement for NWSSP has been requested and submitted from the Director of NWSSP to the Velindre NHS Trust Chief Executive. The Directors from the other bodies hosted by Velindre NHS Trust (1.1 – 1.3 above) have signed and submitted a ‘Governance Compliance Statement’ detailing and declaring compliance with Velindre NHS Trust governance arrangements which is submitted at the end of March each year to the Velindre NHS Trust Chief Executive to provide assurance that Trust policy, systems and processes are being complied with to support good governance.
