  • Leading trusts “buddied” with failing ones under the special measures regime could double their money under Monitor’s bonus scheme
  • Healthwatch warns that the rise of “super clinical commissioning groups” undermines the watchdog’s authority
  • Local training posts could be axed as part of the second phase of Health Education England’s cost cutting reorganisation
  • The friends and family test is to be rejigged after NHS England concluded that the barometer could not be used as a “single measure” for care quality
  • Yvonne Sawbridge and Alistair Hewison discuss why managing “emotional labour” will help achieve staff wellbeing and quality services
