A draft of the NHS’s first management leadership framework has too much “fuzzy language” and should be simplified, NHS England's board has said. Chair Dr Penny Dash told officials to “tighten up” it up and include a clearer measurement of performance. www.hsj.co.uk/workforce/fu...

Reform delayed by Treasury could have stopped Letby, says Jeremy Hunt
