Extenuating circumstances 2007/08
If an organisation believes that its performance or its ability to submit accurate, comprehensive data has been adversely affected by unforeseen or emergency circumstances outside of its control, where it could not reasonably be expected to have contingency in place to mitigate or remove this effect, it may request that this is taken into consideration in the annual health check.
Our protocol for extenuating circumstances
The protocol provides clear governance about extenuating circumstances relating to the following components of the 2007/2008 annual health check: use of resources, existing national targets, new national targets, and service reviews.
