NEWS - JULY 2016
CURRENT LEGISLATION PREVENTS RAPID IMPLEMENTATION OF SOME NEW CARE MODELS
  • CCGs warn current legislation will prevent rapid implementation of some new care models
  • Lancashire North and Cumbria are involved in on-going work to set up two ACS systems, but say commissioner roles cannot be transferred to a provider
  • Restrictions have prompted proposals for a substantial boundary change for the CCGs
PATIENTS' DATA +
4 pages
​A Government review will recommend that patients can opt out of their identifiable data being used by Commissioners, other than for invoice validation and other limited circumstances.
 
The long awaited review by Dame Fiona Caldicott will also call on Ministers to “consider” the controversial Care.data programme, in what could represent another serious blow for the embattled programme.


PARLIAMENTARY HEALTH SERVICE OMBUDSMAN RESIGNS
The Parliamentary Health Service Ombudsman has resigned in the wake of revelations about the involvement of her former Deputy in a sexual harassment cover-up at an NHS Trust.


Dame Julie Mellor’s departure comes four months after it was revealed Dame Julie was made aware of the role played by her Deputy, Mick Martin, who helped to cover up the harassment of a Director while he was Acting Chair at Derbyshire Healthcare Foundation Trust.
​
An investigation has been carried out by Sir Alex Allan, former Chair of the Joint Intelligence Committee, into what Dame Julie knew about Mr Martin’s role and her failure to act. Sir Alex’s investigation has reported, but it has not yet been published.
