The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what his planned timetable is to bring forward legislation to regulate NHS managers.

Answered by Karin Smyth

This Government recognises the importance of ensuring that the NHS has strong and effective leadership in place, and we are committed to introducing professional standards for, and regulation of NHS managers. On 26 November 2024 we published a consultation seeking views from stakeholders on options for regulating NHS managers. The consultation will close on 18 February 2025. We will carefully consider responses to the consultation and set out next steps in due course.
