Given our role as the Competition and Markets Authority’s (CMA’s) appointed Information Organisation, PHIN commissioned leading international professional services firm, Mazars, to confirm that our corporate governance and oversight procedures are resilient, robust and fit for purpose, and to make recommendations for any required / desirable improvements.
This was to ensure we can successfully aid the sector in complying with the Private Healthcare Market Investigation Order 2014 (‘the Order’) and better inform patient choice.
Mazars conducted its review comprising the following key stages from January 2024 to March 2024:
- Board, Senior Management and Company Secretariat questionnaire and interviews
- Desktop review of board and governance-related information
- Observation of Board and committee meetings
- Preparation, agreement and presentation of report and recommendations to the Board
The review team also liaised periodically with representatives from the CMA.
This is PHIN’s summary of the full Mazars report.
