DHSC Consultation on Regulation of NHS Managers
 The consultation seeks views on the on the possibility of introducing a professional duty of candour for NHS managers. The intention is to improve accountability of managers with the overarching aim of ensuring patient safety. This is all in the context of delivering the new 10 Year Health Plan for the NHS.
Views on the type of regulation that may be most appropriate for leaders and managers will be considered, such as:
- which managers should be in scope for a future regulatory system
- what kind of body should exercise such a regulatory function
- consideration of the types of standards that managers should be required to demonstrate as part of a future system of regulation.
