Recommendation, verbatim from the inquiry
●Inquiry recommendation, 112 (17)
The Group Secretary, the Chairman of the Medical Executive Committee and the Chief Nursing Officer, with other appropriate professional heads, should constitute a Professional Executive with delegated authority for day-to-day management of the hospital. They should maintain close liaison with the local authority Departments of Social Services. Similar co-ordination at other levels should be achieved by setting up multi-disciplinary therapeutic teams, consisting of doctors, nurses, social workers, psychologists and occupational therapists.
