HSJ has learned that former NHS Improvement chief executive Sir Jim Mackey is no longer a candidate to replace Sir Simon Stevens, while two national newspapers reported on Sunday that NHS Improvement chair Dido Harding has also been unsuccessful.
Shortlisting is believed to have been carried out last week, with the trio of KPMG senior partner Mark Britnell, NHS England deputy CEO Amanda Pritchard and Leeds City Council CEO Tom Riordan all making the cut.
According to
The Sunday Times, Baroness Harding was turned down by new health and social care secretary Sajid Javid, in what the newspaper remarked should be interpreted as an attempt to put distance between Mr Javid and his predecessor Matt Hancock.
Tough at the top
It’s one of the biggest public sector jobs so it’s no surprise that candidates for the post of NHS England chief executive will face a gruelling 10 hours of interviews and a full day of psychometric testing.
HSJ has learned that the initial interview will be with senior representatives from Number 10, the Treasury and the Cabinet Office, including Cabinet secretary Simon Case.
The shortlisted candidates will also, separately, be interviewed by those NHS England and Improvement non-executive board members who are not represented on the final panel. The board will conduct these interviews in groups of three – meaning candidates may face at least two interrogations at this stage.
