The inquiry into NHS management was set up by Norman Fowler, Secretary of State for Social Services in February 1983, under the chairmanship of Sir Roy Griffiths, the Deputy Chairman and Managing Director of J Sainsbury plc. He was asked to review current initiatives to improve the efficiency of the health service in England and to advise on the management action needed to secure the best value for money and the best possible service to patients. His report - The Griffiths Report - was delivered in October 1983 and made a number of recommendations, including the establishment of a new Health Services Supervisory Board, which would bring together the present management functions relating to the hospital and community services, the family practitioner services and special health authorities.
