The Public Health Agency Chair will ensure that the PHA Board undertakes an annual review of Board Effectiveness2 which encompasses committees established by the Board. 15.2.

This will inform the annual programme of Board training/development and discussions in respect of Board composition and succession. 15.3. In line with any parameters set out in founding (or other) legislation, the Chair in conjunction with the Department, and Ministers where appropriate, will consider the size and composition of the Public Health Agency Board, proportionate to the size and complexity of the Public Health Agency and keep this under review. 15.4.

The Chair will liaise with the Department to identify a suitably skilled facilitator for the external review (this 2 NIAO Good Practice Guide on Board Effectiveness can be a peer review, and should be proportionate) and will share the findings/outcome report with the Department on completion of the review.
