It is not the quantity of leaders that matters but the quality of leaders. Good leaders are those who take responsibility and stop blaming others. They create a culture, systems, processes by working with everyone to make sure all patients get the best and safe care and there is excellent governance and accountability for all.
World class commissioning or World class provider service is possible if only we have World class leaders who all work for a common purpose and that is our patients. Leaders are simply servants of people of this country and their aim is only to provide the safest and the best care for everyone.

This identifies qualities of organisation and development needed, and this article could usefully be read by all leaders serious about wanting the best for patients
