Richard Granger, Chief Executive of NHS
Connecting for Health (CFH), has announced he is leaving the agency
responsible for delivering the
National Programme for IT to the NHS in England.
Granger said: "My decision should be seen in the context of the
changing role of the centre of the NHS and the fact that when I
took on this challenge I said I would give this job five years.
"There remain a number of challenges ahead, but I firmly believe
that the leadership of the programme by Lord Hunt, David Nicholson
and my colleagues within
Connecting for Health will ensure these hurdles are
overcome."
An announcement regarding the identification of a successor, and
of transitional arrangements will be made by the
Department of Health in due course, the department said in a
statement.
