Requesting changes to the BCS

Appendix 2 indicates the next steps to be taken to further develop the BCS, notably the addition of missing health/patient-centred functions, and the wider testing of all functions developed so far. A searchable online version of the BCS is being created for local use. Following this, the BCS will need to be further changed and developed to reflect changes in the way NHSGGC works and changes to the services we deliver, for example changes in how services are provided.

Reasons for requesting changes to be made to the BCS may include:

• Changes to NHSGGC responsibility for function and/or activity
• Change to legislation, regulation or guidelines and codes of practice or business need
• Development requirement
• Identified inconsistency, error or missing element

Changes can only be made through a change control process that will be managed through processes to be agreed as part of the BCS implementation plan.  If you would like to suggest a change at present, please email:
