Executive Summary
Steve Barnett has been appointed chief executive of the UK's NHS Confederation, after acting in that capacity for the last 10 months. During that period, the body has completed a major review of its work and future plans. These feature a renewed focus on "influencing the national policy debate on the future of health and social care". The NHS Confederation represents some 95% of the NHS across the UK, including the special and strategic health authorities in England; trusts and local health boards in Wales; and health and social service trusts and boards in Northern Ireland.
