Question:
To ask the Minister of Health what expertise she will be recruiting to manage the transformation from the silos identified in Systems and Structures to a whole system approach.

Answer:

I will chair a Transformation Advisory Board to oversee the reforms. Members of the Board are being finalised and will be drawn from the field of independent experts, trade unions, user representatives and Community and Voluntary sector.

A Transformation Implementation Group has also been established. This group, chaired by the Permanent Secretary of the Department of Health includes clinical experts, leaders from the wider health and social care system and other partners, to drive forward the process of implementation.
