Make DoH roles explicit: NHS headquarters and independent regulatory framework
Recommendation
The DoH’s roles in relation to the NHS must in future be made explicit. The DoH should have two roles. It should be the headquarters of the NHS. It should also establish an independent framework of regulation which will assure the quality of the care provided in and funded by the NHS, and the competence of healthcare professionals.
