I think that GP's should be the accountable officer. However the level of risk for them is far lower than the current arrangement. At the moment the Chief Exec can get hauled over the coals and got rid of, end of NHS career which is quite a large incentive to do it right. If this post is filled by a GP the worst that happens is that they go back to being a GP, no real loss of earnings or career. Hardly the same level of incentive to make sure they deliver.
