Exclusive: few GP commissioners in DH top leaders list
Only 4 per cent of people on the Department of Health’s list of the 918 NHS most talented leaders deemed capable of senior roles are GPs, HSJ can reveal.
This is despite the fact that clinical commissioning groups – dominated by GPs - are being handed responsibility for around £60bn of the NHS budget.
HSJ has obtained the full list of participants on the Department of Health’s “Top Leaders programme”, aimed at providing the NHS with a “talent pool” of those already in, or ready to step into, the most senior positions.
