The government plans to regulate NHS managers for the first time and hold them accountable, aiming to eradicate a culture of cover-up and protect patients.
Karin Smyth emphasized the need for the best managers and a culture of transparency, stating, 'To turn around our NHS we need the best and brightest managing the health service, a culture of transparency that keeps patients safe.'
The proposed measures aim to ensure that NHS managers are legally accountable for patient safety concerns, potentially introducing a statutory duty of candour.
Government sources mentioned that regulation would close loopholes allowing poor-performing managers to continue in the NHS, promoting accountability and safety for patients.
