Adam Brimelow is joined by the NHS Alliance’s deputy director of policy, David Williams, to discuss a new report on NHS leaders’ experiences of Care Quality Commission (CQC) regulation. They explore why delayed reports, inconsistent expertise and an adversarial inspection culture can undermine improvement, and what a more contextual, timely and trustworthy approach could look like.
Also, to explore the new special health authority launched to facilitate the abolition of NHS England, Adam is joined by Siva Anandaciva, director of policy, events and partnerships at The King’s Fund and Steve Brine, former chair of the Health and Social Care Select Committee, former health minister and host of the Prevention is the New Cure podcast. They discuss the implications for accountability, NHS leadership and devolution, and identify the key questions the government still needs to answer to ensure the transition delivers a genuinely less centralised health system.
