patients. Ass the NHS is the complex system, as the functions are divided into different
functions.so it is difficult for the setting roles and responsibilities and holding accountability.
The NHS has the policy of keeping its stakeholders and staff informed about all the development
and activities of the company. For improving the performance in the care support services, it is

employees of the company. It promotes the cooperation and coordination among the team
members of the NHS.
