Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask Her Majesty's Government when all the musculoskeletal regional leads for NHS England will be (1) appointed, and (2) in post.
As part of the national Best MSK health programme every region in the country has been advised to recruit a musculoskeletal lead. The recruitment process is currently on-going. While there is no fixed timeline for completion, progress against this recruitment will be reviewed in September and subsequently on a quarterly basis.
