Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many Chairs of NHS Trusts in the North West have previously been Chairs of other NHS trusts; and if he will list those Chairs.

This is a matter for NHS Improvement.

The information requested is not a standard data set and is not information that NHS Improvement holds. Given this, NHS Improvement is undertaking a data collection exercise which has required them to ask questions of NHS trust chairs in the North West directly.
