Re-use of PCT Publications - Granting access and applying copyright notices Bill asked who owned the intellectual property on an academic thesis written by an employee if the employee was undertaking the course in PCT time or with PCT money. Ian will find out. The group asked for the guidance to be sent to Helen Armstrong for inclusion in the manuals and to PAs. |

| 5 5.1 5.1.1 | Reports HIS HIS Performance No Helpdesk figures were available at the meeting. Ian had previously been sent the figures and an exception report. While most calls were being resolved within the times laid down in the Service Agreement there were several that went over time that were related to the instability of the Exchange server. Since a software patch was applied to the server it has been more reliable. The helpdesk was still dropping a little under one in five calls. The Bramber server room air-conditioning units do not automatically restart after a power cut. The servers do restart and the server room heats up. Ian will log this as a risk with Jeanette Driscoll. Chris Burrin has not been able to progress the work on disaster recovery. He will ask Jo Noble for help. Martin Fox is working for the HIS on disaster planning. | | |||
| 5.2 5.2.1 | NPfIT Progress Report There was no one from the HIS to provide a programme-wide progress report. The Clinical Records Service Project Initiation Document (PID) is currently being written. The PID will describe the project deliverables and plan and will commit the PCT to providing resources to the project. The PID will be presented to a meeting of the project’s Steering Group on 15th December. | | |||
| 5.3 5.3.1 | Internal IM&T Projects Register Questions were asked about the Shared Business Service finance system– would the PCs and network links be good enough? Business Continuity planning needs to be added as a project | IN | |||
| 6.0 6.1 | Primary Care GP IT – some data is being lost when practices move from EMIS GV to PCS. One practice is pulling out of the move. | | |||

1.0 Apologies for absenceMichael Humber, Gordon Fraser, Bronwyn Pennington, Jerry Noble Bill Allan, Chris Mills, Jo Noble, Linda Benny Action
2.0 Approval of minutes of last meeting 12th July 2005The minutes were approved.
3.0 Matters arising Connecting community staff to LV GP systems. It was felt that it is useful for community staff to have access to information held on GP systems. Lynn raised security issues – practices would need to be convinced that access would be secure. Paul Moss, Lynn Cank, Pete Southern and Ian Nottage will write a project mandate. PM, LC, IN, PS
44.14.24.34.4 PoliciesInformation Governance PolicyThis was approvedIM&T StrategyThis was approved. Andy Wood asked if this was a proper strategy. Ian Nottage replied that it was more of a statement of beliefs, as the PCT had little freedom of action.The lack of links to local authorities was noted. The present thrust of the National Programme is not towards partnership working but towards the acute sector.Applying for exemption under S60 of the of the Health the Social Care Act 2001Section 60 of the Health and Social Care Act 2001 (H&SCA) permits the temporary setting aside of the Common Law duty of Confidentiality for the use of medical records for specific purposes. It does not set aside the requirements of the Data Protection Act 1998. The PCT needs a procedure for applying for this exemption.Jenny Maynard had provided Ian with an updated procedure document that was more explanatory. Ian will circulate this to members for comment.Over-arching information Sharing Protocol checklistThe County-wide Over-arching information Sharing Protocol has a checklist for organisations to self-assess their information security and governance arrangements. These assessments may be used by prospective partners when they are considering information sharing. Not being able to answer yes to every question will not automatically prevent information sharing.The questions are taken from the information governance tool kit so as the PCT improves its toolkit score it will also improve its information self-assessment score.The checklist was approved.
55.15.1.15.1.25.1.3 ReportsHISHIS Service Agreement This has been approved by Andy Wood and was noted by the Group. The SA does not include GP IT. This is covered under a separate agreement.HIS Performance No Helpdesk figures were available at the meeting.The system by which equipment is ordered was mentioned by some as being unreliable. The HIS are looking into this. Ian will
