WILL THE TOOKE REPORT HAVE ENOUGH CLOUT?
The ferret has been ferreting.
He wants more information on the origin of The Skills Escalator.
The Department of Health abdicate and point in the direction of the now defunct “NHS Modernisation Agency”
“The Career Framework for the NHS originated from the former NHS Modernisation Agency. A stakeholder steering group was established in 2004, chaired by Andrew Foster, former Director of Human Resources for the Department of Health.”
Then picked up by “Skills for Health”
“The Department of Health asked Skills for Health to take over further development and population of the Framework in summer 2005. The remit was to further develop and embed a competence-based career framework for health, where possible ensuring that the framework is capable of being applied on a UK basis. Initial priorities were given for population of the framework.”
The Leitch Review, which seems to be the precursor of “The Skills Escalator”, was not published until December 2006 - after these dates.
Was the tail wagging the dog, My Black Cat?
Anyway, The Tooke Report places great emphasis on “defining the role of the doctor?”
Indeed there can be no progression until the role of the doctor is defined.
Workforce projections are not possible until the role of the doctor is defined.
Yes, defining the role of the doctor is the crucial first stage of The Tooke Report.
If the role of the doctor is not made crystal clear, there can be no progress whatsoever.
Absolutely none.
Do you think anyone has a clue what is involved in defining the role of the doctor?
Do they realise what a marathon this will turn out to be, My Black Cat?
And why?
