We maintain a Register of Directors’ Interests which is subject to annual review by the board. No details of company directorships have been declared where those companies are likely to do business or are possibly seeking to do business with NHS.

As far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the auditors are unaware and the directors have taken all of the steps that they ought to have taken as directors, in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.
