5. Our Governors and Members Royal Devon and Exeter NHS Foundation Trust Annual Report and Accounts 2012/13 111 The tables below set out the ways in which the CoG currently puts its representative duties into action and options for consideration on what else might enable the CoG to fulfil its role. 3. Representing the interests of Members of the Trust and the wider public Existing New options/requirements • Contributing to the Trust’s member and public engagement work including Member Say events, surveys etc. • Taking part in the Trust’s Engagement & Experience Committee • Feeding back 'experiential' issues of a generic nature to the Trust based on the views of members of the public • Taking part in focused activities relating to patient experience such as Patient Environment Action Team, ward redesign, and car parking • Identifying other specific Trust projects for Governors to contribute such as elderly care 4. Ensuring that the interests of Members/public are taken into consideration within the newly emerging healthcare context Existing New options/requirements • Providing opportunities for the CoG to contribute to the development of the Trust’s forward plans through discussions on strategy and Annual Plans • Having a process that enables Governors to appoint or remove the Trust’s auditors Mandatory requirements • Mergers, acquisitions, separation or dissolutions require the support of more than half of the CoG • Major transactions – which need to be defined in the Trust’s Constitution – between the Trust and other organisations require the support of more than half of the CoG • The Trust must include in its forward plans proposals to carry out any non-NHS activities. The CoG will then take a view on whether they agree that these activities will not significantly interfere with the Trust’s NHS activities. Where non-NHS activities account for 5% or more of total income, this must be approved by at least half of the CoG • Changes to the Constitution require the approval, of at least half of the CoG and the Board of Directors. Where changes to the Constitution affect the powers or duties of Governors then Members must be given an opportunity to vote on the changes at the next Annual Members’ Meeting. The proposed amendments must be presented by a Governor.
112 5. Our Governors and Members Royal Devon and Exeter NHS Foundation Trust Annual Report and Accounts 2012/13 Governor profiles Kate Caldwell, Exeter & South Devon, Governor since 2007 I was born and brought up in Devon, before training as a nurse and midwife in the South East. I returned to the county in 1990 as Director of Midwifery at the old RD&E Maternity Unit on the Heavitree site – it was a very exciting time in midwifery, with a real focus on links into the community, and I was very proud to be a part of it. I retired from the RD&E in 2002, and after several years as Non-Executive Director of Exeter Primary Care Trust, I became a Governor. In my spare time I am also involved in giving money to the disadvantaged in the area, through my role as Chairman of Exeter Municipal Charities, and also to the Trust as Treasurer for the RD&E branch of the League of Friends. I am also a keen bowls player, and Captain of the Outdoor Exonian Bowling Club. Why did you become a Governor? I became a Governor really to keep my hand in with the RD&E and the local community, which has played a big part in my life. My father actually laid one of the foundation stones of the previous hospital and was involved in the transition to this site, so it is really part of my history. Hopefully my experience and knowledge from working in healthcare also means I can give something back. What do you see as a central part of your role? As an elected Governor I feel I must honour those votes through my commitment to the role. I feel that my job is to be a representative of my area. I think you have to be yourself as a Governor, but by listening you can be the vehicle for passing on and sharing the views of your community. What do you enjoy about being a Governor? I actually really love being a Governor. I am involved in many of the subcommittees that have specific responsibilities, for example the Nominations Committee, who were involved in the recruitment of the new Chairman, the Non-Executive Director Remuneration Committee, as well as giving support to the Board’s Audit Committee. These are all roles that I have carried out in the past, when I was heavily involved with the Royal College of Midwives, and I think that my familiarity with these subjects is an advantage. I really enjoy the lively discussions we have had as a group in formulating the Council of Governors and coming to agree on our role within the organisation. Is there anything you would change about being a Governor? It can be difficult getting all the Governors together in the room at the same time because we have other commitments but I think this is when I feel we are at our most effective.
