Can you tell me the job roles of nurses including district nurses

[edit] Nigel Crisp/perm sec

Sir Nigel also being Chief Exec of the NHS hardly deserves a deletion? Especially as today it's announced the posts will be split on Sir Nigel's imminent departure. Sir Ian Carruthers, who is the Department of Health's acting director of commissioning, takes over as acting NHS chief executive. Hugh Taylor, the director of strategy and business development, becomes acting permanent secretary. --Farsee50 18:12, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

Should it also be made clear that neither of his predecessors held both jobs? -- 128.232.247.218 05:16, 13 March 2006

This situation has now resolved itself as David Nicholson has been appointed as NHS Chief Exec and Hugh Taylor as Perm. Sec. on a permanent basis. I have amended the Perm. Sec. paragraph to show this. Lxxxi 11:18, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] NHS Pensions Agency/NHS PASA

I've replaced the reference to the NHS Pensions Agency as an executive agency with NHS PASA. The NHS Pensions Agency merged with the Prescriptions Pricing Authority and NHS Counter Fraud and Security Management Service to form the NHS Business Services Authority in 2005. NHS PASA and MHRA are the Department's only executive agencies at the moment. Lex3000
