Deputy/BC Champion: Hazel Buchanan – Director of Operations
Business Continuity Manager: Hazel Buchanan – Director of Operations
Version Control: 1.1 Final
How to complete the action plan: To ensure that the Clinical Commissioning Group has workable business continuity strategy it is recommended that time is allotted to complete the following sections and there is an active dialogue with all staff to ensure feedback on the planning process.
1. Consider the list of possible disruptions to service and add others you may believe relevant this process is completed by working through the
business impact analysis tool and remembering to focus on the questions below:
2. How would that particular disruption impact on the individual service area?
3. Plot each disruption against the 3 ‘Ss’
a. STAFF (needed to provide critical activities)
b. SPACE (workplace)
c. SUPPLIES (consumables required to complete the critical activities etc.)
4. Once plotted, actions required to resolve the issue?
STAFF - Call in other staff, arrange cover etc. Consider such issues as contact lists for staff, the time to attend and method of travel to work.
SPACE - What possible alternative locations would be available as space to relocate essential staff to, to use on a temporary basis?
SUPPLIES and UTILITIES – IT, telephones, electricity, gas, water, road fuel, and essential office supplies etc. How would the loss or
shortage be resolved in the short term?
State what gaps or vulnerabilities are exposed by the process, how they can be addressed and any resourcing implications.

Contingencies available to the CCG regarding this disruption/event
Using staff redeployment all essential services would be maintained in this situation.

In extreme weather flexible working arrangements in line with current guidance contained in the HR policies for flexible working will be implemented including working from alternative bases for up to 1 week or working from home remotely via VPN connectivity.
INITIAL ACTIONS DURING EVENT Review staffing numbers and critical functions to be maintained across the CCG in a Pandemic. Monitor position daily as this will be constantly changing. Where necessary suspend non-essential functions if staffing levels are hit substantially – review daily. Provide staff for redeployment to critical functions across the CCG – also make staff available with appropriate skills to support primary and secondary care where necessary. Notify staff of decisions to suspend work and redeploy staff where necessary. Keep all CCG staff informed of the situation in relation to the Pandemic. Annual leave and flexi leave may be cancelled for all CCG Staff. Staff that attend work with flu like symptoms will be asked to go home to protect the health workforce. In extreme weather, cascade to staff weather information. Activate flexible working arrangements where necessary to be in place for up to 1 week.
