GRS operates within a corporate governance framework outlined as below. Our framework is designed with an aim to provide a balance between performance, accountability & quality to ensure that we achieve an optimal clinical outcome, use resources effectively and efficiently, act with integrity and ethically in the best interests of our service users, and our decisions are supported by transparent and clear roles, responsibilities, policies and procedures with a wide consideration & consultation to our team members & stakeholders.
