Administrative / biographical background

The management review of the Department of Health and Social Security (DHSS) was part of a programme of periodic management reviews of all major government departments. For the DHSS, the terms of reference were to review the organisation of the DHSS with particular regard to the working of the top management as a whole, while taking into account relevant recent and current inquiries, including that into the working relationships between the Department and Regional Health Authorities. The review began in 1976 and was carried out by the Department, with support from the Civil Service Department. It was directed by a Steering Committee chaired by Sir Patrick Nairne, Permanent Secretary, which submitted its report to Ministers in 1978.
