HEALTHWATCH ENGLAND
​

Healthwatch England 
, the National Health and Care “consumer champion”, has appointed Imelda Redmond as its new National Director.

Ms Redmond has extensive experience in the not-for-profit sector, including as Chief Executive for the now defunct charity 4Children, Director of Policy and Public Affairs at Marie Curie Cancer Care and Chief Executive of Carers UK.

She received a CBE in the 2010 New Year’s Honours List for working to promote the needs of carers.

Ms Redmond said of her appointment: “There are big challenges facing the health and care sector… It is clear the only way the NHS and care services are going to meet these challenges is if people and clinicians work as partners, and Healthwatch provides the perfect platform to help make this happen.”

Her appointment was confirmed by Jane Mordue, who this week had her roles as Chair of Healthwatch and Non-Executive Director of Care Quality Commission made permanent. Ms Mordue has held both these positions on an interim basis since last December.
​
Ms Redmond will start as National Director on 09 January and succeeds Susan Robinson, the current Acting National Director, who is taking retirement.

PRIME MINISTER'S ADVISER ON HEALTH
A Management Consultant and former Doctor is to become the Prime Minister’s adviser on health.

James Kent’s appointment is expected to be announced imminently. Downing Street has been without a special Political Adviser for Health since Theresa May took over in July.
​
Dr Kent was, until recently, a Management Consultant at Boston Consulting Group, with a leading role in its work with the NHS, and has been in consultancy for more than 20 years. Before this, he trained in medicine in Nottingham and worked as a Junior doctor in the NHS for several years. He has co-authored several articles on Health Policy for HSJ and elsewhere.

PHARMACY CUTS CHALLENGED  ...   PSNC Judicial Review granted
 
The High Court has granted PSNc permission for a Judicial Review of the Secretary of State's October decision to implement cuts to community pharmacy funding and other changes. The hearing is to be expedited and will be heard in the week commencing 6 February 2017.
​

PSNC sought permission from the High Court to apply for the Judicial Review on the grounds that it believes the Secretary of State failed to carry out a lawful consultation on the proposals for community pharmacy. Find out more about the Judge's decision at: ow.ly/ib8S307uMGs
