7 OT PROTECTIVEL MARKED 1 Introduction This plan is to be used to assist in the continuity and recovery of HS Guildford and Waverley Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) in the event of an unplanned disruption. A disruption could be any event, which threatens personnel, buildings or operational capacity and requires special measures to be taken to restore normal service. This plan should be used in conjunction the Emergency Plan Toolkit, the Incident Coordination Centre Protocol and the On-Call Protocol. 2 Scope This plan is primarily intended for use by the on-call manager and applies to the functions provided by Guildford and Waverley CCG at the following sites: CCG Office, Dominion House, Guildford, GU1 4PU The CCG s critical functions are dependent on the following external organisations, and so this plan covers the crucial relationship between these organisations and the CCG: South East Commissioning Support Unit ICT, Data Warehouse and Procurement Support CBRE Managing Agents for Office Premises OVEX Premises Maintenance Company HS Property Services Landlord East Sussex Healthcare HS Trust - 3 rd Party Payroll Provider Robens Centre Occupational Health TIAA Internal Auditors & Local Security Management Specialist Arun H&S Advisors The Royal Surrey County Hospital HS Foundation Trust Surrey and Borders Partnership HS Foundation Trust South East Coast Ambulance Service HS Foundation Trust Virgin Care Ltd Guildford & Waverley General Practices A major disruption to HS England Surrey and Sussex Area Team will invoke their Major Incident Plan, and the relevant Business Continuity Plans. Under the Civil Contingencies Act the CCG is category 2 responder and therefore has a duty to respond to the area team, and the details of the critical elements of HS Guildford and Waverley CCG have been included in this Business Continuity Plan.

Policy Development 3.2 Activating the plan The plan can be activated by the Chief Officer or the Chair at any time. The plan should be activated by the on-call manager as soon as possible after an Emergency has been declared by any partner agency (HS England, the Royal Surrey County Hospital, another CCG, SECAmb, Police, Fire and Rescue, Surrey County Council and Public Health England), or after the activation of the Major Incident Plan. 3.3 Suspension of services in the event of business disruption If a disruption occurs and this plan is activated permission must be sought from the Chief Officer or Chair of the CCG Governing Body, or in their absence via the Management Team (as listed on Appendix A of this document) to suspend the service functions rated 5, 6 and 7 detailed above and release the HS Guildford and Waverley CCG staff who cover these functions to provide support to critical functions and thereby minimise the risks of danger/distress to patients or staff as a result of the BCP event.

19 4 Actions OT PROTECTIVEL MARKED 4.1 Initial response checklist Please see Appendix D for a copy of the initial response checklist which will assist in the management of all BCP events and particularly those which do not have a corresponding Action Card. 4.2 Recording s All s made and actions taken should be recorded using the template in appendix C. 4.3 Alternative working locations for staff If the building is evacuated for any reason, managers should liaise with their staff and monitor their welfare, particularly if there are inclement weather conditions. Circa 65% of all staff have been issued with a laptop, 65% with remote access tokens and 80% with mobile phones. The presumption is therefore that the majority of staff have the capacity to work from home. Mutual aid agreements with other CCGs, the South London CSU and Royal Surrey HS Foundation Trust (RSCH) mean that the following alternative desk space is available: E Hants & Farnham Aldershot Centre for Health Hospital Hill Aldershot GU11 1A East Surrey (moving offices in ovember 2014) The Officers' Mess Coldstream Road Caterham Surrey CR3 5QX South East CSU (in process of checking capacity given changes) 1 Lower Marsh Waterloo London SE1 7T RSCH Egerton Road Guildford GU2 7XX Own laptop required Own phone required Own laptop required Own phone required Own laptop required Own phone required Own laptop required Own phone required Max number TBC Max 3 at any one time Max 4 at any one time 5-10 at any one time Approx 1 week use Page 19 of 31 Organisational Business Continuity Plan 1.5

20 OT PROTECTIVEL MARKED Desk based PCs may also be available with Surrey Downs CCG at Cedar Court in Leatherhead, however, it takes time for the log in details to be set up, and so this option is only available to members of staff that have previously worked from this location. 4.4 Muster points and meeting places In the event of the building being evacuated, the muster point is the car park outside the building to the rear on Commercial Road. Alternative meeting places may be secured from local providers and partners by using the contact numbers listed in Appendix B. Please ensure that you make your line manager aware of where you will be. 5 Specific action plans by event type The top rated risk in 2014/15 for the country is pandemic flu. The top rated risk for the county in 2014/15 is Flooding. The most significant risk for the organisation is the dependence on a small pool of staff and the specialist skills and knowledge required to undertake the day to day business of the organisation. All the specific action plans below take into account the need for specialist staff, however the first action would be to seek cross cover with an appropriately trained member of staff and then secure agency or interim cover if that is not possible. Individual Action Cards for the on call manager are provided in appendix D. 5.1 Staff absence B: Refer to the sickness absence policy and review Action Card 6.
