What will the degree of accountability be for licensee, PO and CGO in the event of a mishap?
The Healthcare Services Act 2020 (HCSA) FAQs, Enhanced Governance
Depending on the facts borne out of investigations, the licensee’s degree of accountability will typically exceed that of both the PO and CGO, as the licensee is responsible for the overall compliance to the HCSA.
If there is sufficient proof that the licensee had carried out his functions and noncompliance is traced to the PO or CGO, the PO or CGO will be taken to task.
