I look forward to hearing my better half's opinion later on, I do find it amusing that one of the criticisms was about "lengthy and diffuse answers". and this from MPs. They only appear on these committees in order to cosplay Paxman without censure. There are entire strata of useless management that need to be removed from the NHS, and I'd start with the CEOs.

Many of the CEO's are nurses.A few Chairs too.
In quite a few Trusts the bulk of the Board is formed by Nurses.

Probably a matter of when rather than if she was going.
I have high hopes for jim mackey who is taking over, he is a dynamic character and has done great things as a CEO
He has a vision and expects things done at pace. First hand experience of it last year in setting up a wholly owned subsidiary when 3rd party provider pulled out. I have high hopes for jim mackey who is taking over, he is a dynamic character and has done great things as a CEO
Not sure if he will fancy it full time judging by his comments

Who do you propose then does the role of a CEO in an organisation which has multi million or sometimes billion + budgets IanA2 said:

As far as I can see the Secretary of State does most of the donkey work. Amanda the invisible simply watched from the sidelines while Barclay battled the unions.Look at her CV. Just about the last person who would have taken on a root and branch reform of the service. The kind of reform needed can only be carried out by people not obsessed with a victim mentality, a belief that the NHS is a sacred cow and that money will solve everything. Appointing an accountant isn't a bad start.
Following on from this, reports that Wes Streeting has drawn up plans for halving the number of people employed by the NHS. Remarkable if so and welcome if he can do it. The behemoth needs a good haircut that is for sure.
With this and the rise in NI one does wonder what jobless figures will look like in a couple of years time!

It's half of NHS England ("head office" effectively) staff.I had a mate who was a Trust CEO and years ago he said most staff in NHS England had no idea what they were doing - he said they literally didn't know what their jobs were.
