Introduction

These Financial Delegation Limits should be read in conjunction with the BrisDoc Healthcare services Standing Financial Instructions and Scheme of Delegation.

The BrisDoc Board remains accountable for all of its functions, even those which are delegated to the Chair, Chief Executive, individual Executive Directors, Officers or their nominated representatives and therefore must receive information regarding the exercise of delegated functions.

All powers which have not been reserved for the Board or delegated to an Executive Committee or Sub Committee shall be exercised on behalf of the Board by the Chief Executive. The following Financial Delegation Limits identify those functions which are personally performed or alternatively delegated to Executive Directors or officers of BrisDoc Healthcare Services.

The Chief Executive may re-assume delegated powers at any time, particularly if the use of delegated powers by an Executive Director or officer could be a cause for public concern. In the absence of an Executive Director or officer the use of a delegated power will always pass to a superior, unless explicit arrangements have been agreed by the Board.

Where the authorisation is delegated to Executive Directors (in formal meeting) this refers to the Executive Medical Director, the Executive Commercial & Finance Director or the CEO.
