Description of the goods or services required

To provide a board development programme informed by discussions with the advisor appointed by Welsh Government and the Health Board Chair. The programme is likely to include a range of development activities to support board members individually and collectively in developing and enhancing their skills. There will be a focus on the roles which they fulfil as a board member and how to ensure effective decision-making in accordance with the principles of good governance. This will assist board members in enhancing their personal contribution and in ensuring board effectiveness.

• Understand the role of scrutiny, the difference between reassurance and assurance, and the need to seek, receive and give assurance
