Further review of the BAF has taken place by the Executive team and Company Secretary since the meetings. Updates to risks All risks in the 2022/23 framework have been reviewed to reflect the most up to date situation in the Trust and wider system, as well as the significant global factors impacting the NHS going forward. There have been minor updates to key controls and assurance levels have been added where risks have been through an assurance committee. Suggested updates There are no other suggested updates to the risks identified in the Board Assurance Framework. Consideration will be given to the allocated risks at each Assurance Committee meeting, and these have been added to rolling programmes to ensure appropriate oversight. Recommendation To note the Board Assurance Framework (BAF) 2022/23 that reflects the risks to achievement of the corporate objectives and the levels of assurance given to the various risks.
