Mike,
A CG has to be the Medical Director or a clinician with delegated authority to do the role.
Whilst Nicky states that she is a Deputy CG, I am not sure how that sits if she is not clinical. However, one of my clients does do something not too dissimilar - although it's an Acute Trust so clinicians can be found!
Medical Director delegates authority to Consultant Gastroenterologist who is the CG (not a deputy, but retains the authority to sgnoff/make decisions if CG not available).
Senior Information Risk Owner (ICT Director) delegates operational SIRO responsibility to Deputy SIRO who is also Head of Information Governance.
CG and Deputy SIRO meet and work together on relevant areas and where appropriate Deputy SIRO will sign for the CG (and vice versa - but rarely).
CG is chair of the Information Governance Group which has subgroups of Health Records, Coding, Business Intelligence, Systems and Data Quality. FOI and DPA are covered by the IG Group.
IG Group reports to the Corporate Quality and Risk Committee - Deputy SIRO sits on this meeting.
This group reports upward in turn.
SIRO is deputy Chair of the IG Group.
Hope that helps.
Simon.

Subject: [data-protection] Caldicott Functions
Good morning everyone, I am looking for a steer on how the collective organises the Caldicott Function in your respective organisations. For example, do you have a dedicated Caldicott Guardian or is it tagged onto another person's role. Do those of you who work in a Local Authority have it included with a Data Protection/ Information Governance role and does anyone have a roles/ responsibilities description or work programme for the Guardian that they're willing to share.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated
