Information Governance is a framework that brings together legal, ethical and quality standards that apply to the handling of information; it applies to all information and data especially sensitive and personal information.
Information Governance sits alongside clinical governance (how we look after you) and corporate governance (how we work) and focuses on what we call the CIA of information – looking at confidentiality (C), integrity (I) and availability (A) of information.
It ensures that information is handled in a safe, confidential and secure manner (confidentiality), that information is accurate and up to date (integrity) and is available at the right time, in the right place to the right person (availability).
The Health Board has an Information Governance Unit to help you with any concerns or complaints that you may have about your information.
The General Data Protection Regulation means that we must appoint a Data Protection Officer, (DPO). Our DPO is Jonathan Meredith and his email address is DPO.ABB@wales.nhs.uk. The DPO is responsible for overseeing our information governance strategy and implementation to ensure compliance with the confidentiality and data protection law such as the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR), Data Protection Act 2018.
As part of the GDPR Aneurin Bevan Health Board must provide a Privacy Notice; this explains why we collect information about you and how your information is used. It also provides details on your rights including how to access your health record.
