Failing Hospitals: Sack NHS managers? Feat. Marvyn Harrison & Lizzie Cundy | Storm Huntley

The government's introducing new league tables, naming and shaming poor performing hospitals. And - if NHS managers don't make improvements - they could lose their jobs. Health Secretary Wes Streeting's been outlining the plans at a conference in Liverpool this morning. NHS trusts can expect to be ranked on a range of indicators such as finances, delivery of services, patient access to care and the competency of leadership. Under the Government plans, persistently failing managers will be replaced and turnaround teams sent into trusts that are running big financial deficits or offering patients a poor service. A new pay framework for very senior managers will be published before April next year, with those who do well given financial rewards. Health leaders hit back at the move, saying it could demoralise staff, and accused ministers of "falling for the appealing notion of a magic productivity tree which will make the NHS more efficient just by shaking the magic tree harder".
