Board level commitment

Disability equality is championed at Board level with myself (Jon Crockett) as Chief Executive taking overall responsibility and a Non Executive Director overseeing the delivery of the scheme. The Director of Human Resources and Organisational Development has delegated responsibility for implementation. 
   
The PCT is committed to making changes to improve services and facilities for disabled people. The first step was to involve disabled people, their carers and employees to determine what needs to be done. This involvement process will continue to underpin the scheme as it evolves.

The implementation of the scheme will be closely monitored by our ADVICE (A Disability Voice in Communicating Equality) Steering Group which is chaired by the Director of Human Resources and Organisational Development.  We will continue to listen to the views of service users and their carers and collect information to review progress and assess future needs and will keep the Primary Care Trust Board and other stakeholders informed of developments.
