Joint Working Manual

Appendix Three - Remedies

The JWT use LGSCO guidance when considering what an appropriate remedy may be for an LGA 74 body in jurisdiction, and PHSO guidance for remedies against health bodies. You do not need approval to recommend remedies over £1500 (per para 7.47). If you want to recommend a remedy outside the scale (para 7.43), please detail your reasoning in N&A and task the JWT AO.  If you are recommending a remedy outside the PHSO bands, you should feedback to PHSO Typology team. The relevant email address is in the key contacts document.

Apportioning financial remedies

  1. Remedies are considered on a case by case basis. Generally, a portion of the remedy should be required from the body with the ultimate statutory responsibility, but the exact split should be determined on the facts.
  2. Investigators should avoid spending a disproportionate amount of time assessing how to apportion remedies. It is reasonable to take a broad-brush approach and leave it to the bodies to agree the actual split not involving detailed further investigation.
