Select Committee takes final evidence from Sir David Nicholson
Sir David Nicholson is due to give evidence to MPs this afternoon for the final time before his retirement. The Health Select Committee is investigating public expenditure on health and social care, and will also be hearing from NHS England’s chief financial officer Paul Baumann.
The committee will be looking at progress towards the Nicholson Challenge, which requires the NHS to achieve 4% year-on-year efficiency gains. They will be examining how far the NHS is succeeding to make savings rather than cuts, the effectiveness of mechanisms by which resources are distributed throughout the NHS, and progress on the integration of health and social care.
Sir David is to give evidence from 2pm, and you can watch live at: www.parliamentlive.tv/Main/Player.aspx?meetingId=14120
