That means a larger role for charities and social
enterprises. He is quite right; the NHS must be more open-minded if it is to
stop ‘the wheels coming off’, in his words.
It’s encouraging to see this strong message being set from
day one of Simon’s tenure. He is clearly open to greater third sector
involvement. It will be good to see what happens next.
On a happier note, I pleased to see that Dr Mohammed Ali
OBE was awarded the Uthman Dan Fodio Award for Excellence in Community
Development at the twelfth Muslim News Awards for Excellence on Monday night,
in a ceremony attended by the Prime Minister. He is Founder and CEO
of QED Foundation, a Yorkshire-based
charity and social enterprise which tackles issues of health, education and
employment in south Asian communities by providing a range of innovative
services across the UK and overseas. It is a much-deserved award. Well done!
