NHS Humber Health Partnership: Leadership
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what information his Department holds on the (a) advice and (b) approval that was given by NHS England in regard to (i) former CEO Jonathan Lofthouse leaving the Humber Health Partnership, (ii) former chair Sean Lyons leaving the Humber Health Partnership and (iii) the appointment of Lyn Simpson as interim CEO at Humber Health Partnership (Hull University Teaching Hospitals and Northern Lincolnshire and Goole Foundation Trust).
- Answer
-
Appointment and leaving decisions are primarily a matter for Humber Health Partnership or individuals in, or entering into, a contractual relationship with Humber Health Partnership.
Accountability for recruitment decisions sits within the local trust. Contractual obligations must be met and governance followed in line with the requirements of the trust, and if appropriate, the requirements of NHS England, the Department of Health and Social Care, or HM Treasury. NHS England is satisfied that appropriate governance has been followed.
