A disruption could be any event, which threatens personnel, buildings or operational capacity and requires special measures to be taken to restore normal service. 1.2 Aim The aim of the plan is to set out the roles, responsibilities and actions to be taken by the NHS Mansfield and Ashfield CCG to enable continuity and recovery of the key parts of the service following a significant disruption. 1.3 Scope This plan applies to the functions provided by the NHS Mansfield and Ashfield CCG at the following sites: Hawthorn House, Ransom Wood Business Park, Mansfield, Nottinghamshire Balderton Primary Care Centre, Lowfield Lane, Balderton, Nottinghamshire Some staff work across Both north CCGs and or 5 CCGs across Nottinghamshire A major disruption to Nottinghamshire/ Derbyshire Commissioning Board Area Team will invoke their Major Incident Plan and the relevant Business Continuity Plans.

It is recommended that you make all staff in your team aware of your Business Continuity plan and arrangements. 2.2 Plan Testing / Exercising It is recommended that NHS Mansfield & Ashfield CCG exercise this plan annually. A Business Continuity Plan Exercise will be facilitated by the Resilience Manager from within the Nottinghamshire/ Derbyshire Commissioning Board Area Team for our level 2 responses, and from within the CCG for business continuity purposes, e.g. heavy snowfall. Following the use of the plan, the Corporate Governance Manager will review the effectiveness of the plan in addition to the annual review. The review should be discussed as part of the risk management processes to give assurance to the Governing Body.

14 How to complete the action plan: To ensure that the PCT has a workable business continuity strategy it is recommended that time is allotted to complete the sections and there is an active dialogue with all staff to ensure feedback on the planning process. 1. Consider the list of possible disruptions to service and add others you may believe relevant this process is completed by working through the business impact analysis tool and remembering to focus on the questions below: 2. How would that particular disruption impact on the individual service area? 3. Plot each disruption against the 3 Ss a. STAFF (needed to provide critical activities) b. SPACE (workplace) c. SUPPLIES (consumables required to complete the critical activities etc) 4. Once plotted, actions to resolve issue? STAFF - Call in other staff, arrange cover etc. Consider such issues as contact lists for staff, the time to attend and method of travel to work. SPACE - What possible alternative locations would be available as space for essential staff to use on a temporary basis? SUPPLIES IT, telephones, electricity, gas, water, road fuel, essential office supplies etc. How would the loss or shortage be resolved in the short term? State what gaps or vulnerabilities are exposed by the process, how they can be addressed and any resourcing implications. Page 13 of 29
