  • Paper: NHSE 191401 BOARD PAPER
    Paper: NHSE 191401 BOARD PAPER - NHS ENGLAND Title: Chief Executive’s report By: Simon Stevens, CEO Purpose of paper: Update on the work of the Chief Executive over the last two months. Provide information on a number of NHS England priorities not covered elsewhere on the agenda. Actions required by Board Members: To note, and to discuss various items referred to herein. NHS ENGLAND CEO’s REPORT TO THE BOARD Overview 1. Since the July board meeting I’ve continued to get out and about, meeting with patients, staff and our partners. Recent visits include community hospitals, voluntary organisations, local councils and GPs in Devon; a Friday night with GPs, nurses, paramedics and call handlers serving urgent care patients in north east London and Essex; and meeting a group of people with learning disabilities describing their experiences of - and powerful challenge to – the way NHS and social care services currently work. I’ve also participated in a number of discussion sessions with our third sector, local government and NHS partners debating the future direction of the NHS in the context of the Five Year Forward View. To further advance our commitment to transparency, I now publish a list of my official meetings with non-public sector bodies quarterly on our website. 2. I gave evidence to the Public Accounts Committee on out-of-hours GP services, together with Una O’Brien, Barbara Hakin and Keith Willett, and met with the All Party Parliamentary Group on Cancer. To advance public understanding of our work and the issues facing the NHS, in the past fortnight alone I’ve spoken on BBC Radio 2’s Jeremy Vine show, at the Alzheimers Society Annual Conference, at the HSJ Commissioning Summit, the Cambridge Health Network, with Roy Lilley at the Kings Fund, and again this week in Coventry at Public Health England’s annual conference.

  • Jo Swinson: the New Liberal Democrat Leader
    Jo Swinson: the new Liberal Democrat Leader 22 July 2019 Who is Jo Swinson? Jo Swinson was born in 1980, growing up and going to school in East Dunbartonshire, which she now represents in Parliament. Her mother was a primary school teacher while her father worked in economic development. She cites her earliest political experience as signing petitions against animal testing in the Body Shop. A Liberal Democrat supporter since she was at school, Jo joined the Liberal Democrats aged 17, while studying Management at the LSE. During her time at university, she worked as a Research Assistant for the Employers’ Forum on Disability. After graduating, Swinson moved to Hull, working as Viking FM’s Marketing & PR Manager. Aged 21, she stood against John Prescott at the 2001 general election in Hull East. Relocating back to Scotland, she worked as Marketing Manager for SpaceandPeople Plc and then as Communications Officer for the UK Public Health Association prior to her election as an MP. In 2011, she married Duncan Hames, who was the Liberal Democrat MP for Chippenham from 2010 to 2015, and is now an anti-corruption campaigner. The couple have two sons. What is Jo Swinson’s political background? Swinson was successfully elected to Parliament in 2005, winning East Dunbartonshire from Labour. In the Commons, she became a Lib Dem whip and spokesperson for culture, media and sport, before being promoted to Shadow Secretary of State for Scotland in 2006. Swinson gained additional responsibility in 2007 becoming Shadow Women and Equality Minister. She returned to the backbenches later that year, before becoming Shadow Minister for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs in 2008, retaining this role until the 2010 election.
