Our C&I Governors
The Boards of Camden and Islington NHS Foundation Trust and Barnet, Enfield and Haringey Mental Health NHS Trust meet in common as a Partnership Board, reflecting the coming together of both Trusts in the formation of the North London Mental Health Partnership.
Camden and Islington NHS Foundation Trust (C&I) has an elected Council of Governors (made up of public, staff, service users/ carers, and stakeholders) which holds the C&I Board publicly accountable for the services it provides. Our Governors bring valuable perspectives and contributions to its activities. Importantly, our Governors hold the Non-Executive Directors for C&I to account for the performance of the Board on behalf of C&I and represent the interests of constituent members and the public.
- Governors are largely elected by the membership, from amongst the membership.
- Governors provide a voice for members and local people.
- Governors help ensure that the Board is accountable to local people.
- Governors have a statutory role. This includes the appointment or removal of the Trust Chair and Non-Executive Directors and deciding on their pay and terms of appointment. They agree the appointment of the Chief Executive and appoint the Trust’s external auditors. The Governors also have a role in approving the Trust’s Constitution.
Our Governors are not responsible for the day to day running or management of the Trust.
