manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

A Grenfell Tower Inquiry chief has been appointed as the new boss of the NHS in Greater Manchester - as the health service undergoes sweeping changes.

Mark Fisher, the director general and secretary to the Grenfell Tower Inquiry, will become the chief executive of NHS Greater Manchester Integrated Care - a new NHS body that will formally come into being on July 1, if the Health and Care Bill passes in the House of Lords.

The board is one of many being set up across the country, changing how the NHS is run dramatically by operating it on a day-to-day basis, as well as all of the planning, buying of health and care services, and the development of long-term plans for the region.
