1 Information Governance practitioner from Public Health Scotland
Panel Manager
Expert information security advice from an IT Security Officer will be sought where needed.
What they do?
Tier 1 panel meetings take place regularly to consider new applications or application amendments.
Applications or amendments must be submitted to HSC-PBPP one week before the next panel date.
Applications or amendments submitted to HSC-PBPP will be sent to the next available Tier 1 panel, in accordance with submission deadlines, set and published by the panel manager. The deadline allows Tier 1 panel members appropriate time to prepare for Tier 1 panel meetings.
What HSC-PBPP consider when scrutinising your application or amendment. Panel Guiding Principles and Proportionate Governance Criteria. (from Terms of Reference V2.6)
Members conduct independent assessments of each application or amendment prior to the panel meeting, using agreed proportionate governance criteria.
The panel meeting is used to undertake group review of these assessments, using the same criteria to agree an outcome for the application or amendment:
- approved (with or without conditions),
- clarification,
- refer to Tier 2.
Where a Tier 1 panel determines neither to approve nor refer an application or amendment, it may seek timely clarification or additional information from the applicant in order to support its deliberations. Communication will be through your eDRIS coordinator.
Where an application or amendment clearly has little or no chance of approval in it’s current form, the panel manager will advise the applicant of this on behalf of the Tier 1 panel, with a recommendation to re-submit the application or amendment . Communication will be through your eDRIS coordinator.
Clarification may also be sought from the applicant in support of an application or amendment which is referred to Tier 2.
