| Annotation | Clinical governance establishes the need to focus on the activities involved in delivering high quality care to patients, as indicated in the White Paper, "The new NHS: modern, dependable" and the subsequent consultation document, "A first class service". This guidance aims to promote the measures which will help health organisations to develop good clinical governance. It focuses on teamwork, partnership, and communication - that is, multi-disciplinary and multi-agency activity aimed at delivering seamless care. The key roles and respective responsibilities of Health Authorities, Primary Care Groups (PCGs), Primary Care Trusts, NHS Trusts, the Commission for Health Improvement, and the NHS Executive are set out.
