As the foundation trust model faces proposed changes, many are concerned about how to retain accountability and local democracy in health and care. The suggested shift to more centralised control by the Secretary of State raises questions about autonomy and the future of local decision-making.  It’s a big change that could affect how care is delivered and who gets to make those critical decisions. Are we sacrificing local input for a more controlled system? 


In this episode, Adam’s joined by Rebecca Hainsworth, Partner at Browne Jacobson and Ken Jarrold, former chair of Cumbria, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Foundation Trust Council of Governors and Board of Directors, to discuss the Health Bill and the impact that reduced autonomy could have on local governance and quality of care.  


Plus, Adam catches up with new NHS Employers CEO Ben Morrin to find out what he'll be focusing on at a crucial moment for the NHS workforce.
