23 new directors to steer LIFT company developments
Community Health Partnerships reveals appointment of local public sector directors to sit on LIFT boards
Changes in the medical sector continue with the announcement of 23 new local public sector directors who will serve on the boards of LIFT companies steering the design of healthcare facilities across England.
Community Health Partnerships (CHP) revealed the appointments this week, with more to be made over the coming months.
They come as a result of CHP’s changing role which, from April this year, saw it take on responsibility for the LIFT programme from the now-defunct primary care trusts, including their shareholdings, and subsequent position on the boards.
Chief executive, Sue O’Connell, said: “These appointments will play a key role in maintaining the important links between LIFT companies and the local health economies they serve. In our search for suitable directors we have looked for individuals possessing the broad experience and personal attributes to get the best from partnerships.”
The LIFT companies are locally-based joint ventures between public and private sector organisations, which bring together the resources and expertise to invest in some of the most disadvantaged parts of the country.
CHP plays a key role in facilitating these public private partnerships to deliver a wide range of health planning and estate services that support health providers and local authorities achieve improvements in the estate.
