New preferred NHS England chairman named
Former health minister Lord David Prior has been named as the government’s chosen candidate to be the next chair of NHS England.
If given the green light, Lord Prior will take over from Sir Malcom Grant, who served two terms as the chairman of NHS England.
Lord Prior is currently chairman at University College London Hospital NHS Trust, having previously held the role of chairman at Norfolk, Norwich University NHS Foundation Trust and the Care Quality Commission.
Health and Social Care Secretary Matt Hancock said: “We love the NHS and are determined to guarantee it for everyone for the long term. Lord Prior brings huge experience to this important role where he will help deliver the long-term plan for the NHS.
“He is enormously qualified, having led an NHS trust, been a former health minister and a chairman of the Care Quality Commission. I look forward to working with Lord Prior closely and want to thank the outgoing Sir Malcolm Grant for his service to the role and the NHS.”
