Report comment

Mary Hawking makes an interesting point. However, it is rather galling that KPMG is one of the companies involved in FESC. In addition, we have recently had a report suggesting that too much money is being wasted on management consultancy.
He hasn't broken any rules, but I think we must think harder about what to do with the "revolving doors" culture. I think it has been hugely damaging to the NHS and our public services.

Other recent examples include:
1. Simon Stevens (No 10 Health Advisor, CEO of United Health (Europe)
2. Alan Milburn (SoS Health, Alliance Medical)
3. Patricia Hewitt (SoS Health, Boots)
4. Lord Warner (Health Minister, UK Health Gateway)
5. Baroness Jay (Health minister, became senior advisor to Currie and Brown, construction consultants active in PFI)
6. Lord Barnett: Labour Peer, became Charmain Atos Origin

and in the other direction:
1. Richard Abadie: former Price Waterhouse Coopers (PwC), now Head of PFI policy HM treasury (excellent name by the way!)
2. Liame Byrne: former Anderson Consulting, Labour MP and Health minister
3. Paul Corrigan: former indepedant consultant managing public service change, became Special Advisor to health secretary (architect of ISTCs and Foundation Trusts)
4. Dr Penelope Dash: former McKinsey consultant, became director of Monitor (independent regulator of Foundation Trusts)
5. Richard Grainger: Deloitte partner, became head of NHS IT programme
6. Patricia Hewitt: Director Anderson Consulting, became SoS for Health!!
7. Paul Jones: Director Atos Origin, became Chief technology officer for CfH
8. Simon Leary: Consultant PwC, became head of DH strategy unit
9. Adrian Masters: Consultant with IBM and PwC, became director of health team in PMs delivery unit, then head of strategy at Monitor
10. Sheila Masters: KPMG partner, appointed to public services productivity panel looking at performance, estates and IT in NHS
11. Dr Timothy Stone : Chairman KPMG PFI advisory services, became member of the DH commercial directorate advisory panel amongst other HMG advisory roles in health, farming and MoD
