Hi Kate here at our Trust Safety was managed by OH, but now it under the umbrella of Health Governance which has 2 streams of control i.e. both clinical and non clinical risk. The Assoc Director of Health Gov would manage both the clinical and non clinical risk managers (we are awaiting the appoitment of the non clinical manager though I'm not sure whether that title will be used). OH here is line managed by HR,though not for much longer,(as we are setting up a shared service approach with 3 other trusts). but I have to say I HAVE had no problems having HR as manager as they gave us almost complete autonomy and support. hope this helps Deirdre Gallagher Occupational Health Service Manager Tel: 0208 302 2678 ext:4543 -----Original Message----- From: Kate Venables [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Wednesday, February 04, 2004 01:00 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: safety reporting in the NHS from the ANHOPS list ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Please remove this footer before replying.
