Amanda Pritchard's resignation as chief executive of NHS England comes after significant meetings with health secretary Wes Streeting regarding service overhaul plans. Though not forced out, her exit is amicable after three and a half years in the role and follows criticisms from key parliamentary committees about her leadership abilities. She has been perceived as complacent, and her lack of dynamism has raised concerns about her capability to lead the NHS through the expected transformations. Pritchard will remain until April, with James Mackey poised to succeed her as interim chief executive.
"Her departure from the top job follows recent meetings she held with Wes Streeting, the health secretary, to discuss his plans to overhaul the service and her own future role."
"In a statement, the cross-party committee said she had not demonstrated that she had the drive and dynamism to transform the NHS in the radical and urgent way the government wanted."
