We wonβt necessarily feel the changes tomorrow or even next year, but if the NHS and its staff are given the support, resources and political cover to deliver the changes the plan proposes, in five to ten yearsβ time the health system could feel very different.

NHS management reform: regulation is just the beginning
Regulation of managers now seems inevitable, but must be accompanied by wider changes focused on professionalising and supporting NHS leaders
