What is Governance?

For the NHS in Wales, governance is defined by the NHS Confederation as:

"A system of accountability to citizens, service users, stakeholders and the wider community, within which healthcare organisations work, take decisions and lead their people to achieve their objectives."

In simple terms, it refers to the way in which NHS bodies ensure that they are doing the right things, in the right way, for the right people, in a manner that upholds the values set for the Welsh public sector.

The effectiveness of governance arrangements has a significant impact on how well NHS organisations meet their aims and objectives.
