With the Health and Social Care Bill finally receiving Royal Assent this week finalising staffing structures and the appointment of individuals to key roles such as the Accountable Officer, Chair and Chief Finance Officer for the shadow CCGs will need to take priority.
A Health Service Journal survey has revealed that 60% of clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) want primary care trust (PCT) managers as their Accountable Officers and to fill key leadership roles.
