Policies are a necessary component part of the internal controls required to enable NHS Lanarkshire to reach long-term goals and will:

• Influence decisions taken
• Influence actions and behaviours
• Influence corporate identity
• Result in outcomes

The Corporate Policies and the supporting website are subject to continuous review to:

• Maintain high standards of Policy formulation
• Enable access to up-to-date policies
• Reflect organisation change
• Reflect legislative change
• Ensure all policies are accessed through the one NHS Lanarkshire site only

Please let us know if you have any suggestions for improvement, or comments that could be considered by the Corporate Policy Monitoring & Improvement Group, through CorporatePolicies@lanarkshire.scot.nhs.uk
