The world-renowned Armenian surgeon Prof. Lord Darzi, “Robo Doc”, has been appointed by ministers to lead an independent investigation into the performance of the NHS, reported The Guardian. Wes Streeting, the health secretary, said the review would be aimed at “diagnosing the problem” so ministers could “write the prescription”. Charged with assessing the evidence that could help reshape the NHS, the task presents an opportunity for an innovator who relishes a challenge.
“As every clinician and every patient knows, the first step to addressing any health problem is a proper diagnosis,” said Darzi after his appointment was announced. “My work will analyse the evidence to understand where we are today – and how we got to here – so that the health service can move forward. This is an important step to re-establishing quality of care as the organising principle of the NHS.”
