Dear Chris/Roger, Disclosure of significant matters of a strategic, operational or governance nature I confirm that to the best of my knowledge and belief I have informed the board about all significant matters of a strategic, operational or governance nature that I have become aware of as part of my employment on behalf of the Trust. There are no matters of consequence that I have not already disclosed to the board or one of its committees. Through meetings of the board and its committees held throughout the year I can confirm that to my knowledge and belief the Trust operates sound governance in relation to risk and performance management and board roles, structures and capacity. I have also reviewed my declaration of interests in the Trust’s register and can confirm that it is accurate as at today’s date and no conflict of interest exists. [As chair of the [audit/quality assurance] committee I have been responsible for ensuring that assurance is provided to the board on all matters of [corporate and financial/clinical and research] governance and risk. I can confirm that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, the board has been advised about all significant matters.]

Yours sincerely [Grenville Page Non-executive director Chair of the Audit Committee] [Kieran Walshe Non-executive director Chair of the Quality Assurance Committee] [Kathryn Riddle / Jane Maher / Robert Ainsworth / Tarun Kapur / Alveena Malik Non-executive director] [others Title] [Chris Outram Chair – letter to Roger]
