As reported by Gov.uk, plans unveiled by Health Secretary Wes Streeting aim to bar NHS managers guilty of misconduct or silencing whistleblowers, ensuring stricter accountability and patient safety.
NHS managers who silence whistleblowers or endanger patients through misconduct could be barred from working in the NHS, under proposals being announced by Health Secretary Wes Streeting this week.
A public consultation has been launched seeking views on government proposals to regulate health service managers, ensuring they follow professional standards and are held to account.
The Department of Health and Social Care will also consult on whether to introduce a new professional duty of candour on managers and, in addition, to make managers accountable for responding to patient safety concerns.
Regulation will prevent the revolving door that allows individuals with a record of poor performance or misconduct to continue to work in the health service. It would deliver on the government’s manifesto commitment to introduce professional standards and regulate NHS managers.
The consultation will run for 12 weeks, after which the department will consider responses to the consultation and will set out next steps in due course.
