According to the Department of Health Northern Ireland's Implementation Programme, established in March 2018, the recommendation for Trust publications and communications to comply with candour requirements, with monitoring by a nominated non-executive Director, is being addressed (Official government response, 2018). The government reported that non-executive Director oversight of Trust communications was implemented (Official government response, 2018). However, as of January 2024, this recommendation was reported as "In Progress" within the implementation programme (Official government response, 2024-01-31). No further specific details on the operationalisation or outcomes of this oversight have been publicly identified since this update.
