Email address where written representations should be sent: governance@staffsstoke.icb.nhs.uk Details of the award decision-makers: NHS SSOT ICB Finance and Planning Committee 3rd of September 2024 Any declared conflicts or potential conflicts of interest of individuals making the decision and how these were managed: The PCCD MDT and POG agreement and approval processes seek to identify any Conflicts of Interest and, if declared, these are documented and managed according to SSOT ICB policy.

In this case, no conflicts were declared by any members of the ICB's Finance and Performance Committee.
