Reflections 2012 Reforms- biggest since 1948 and 1974 Opportunities and threats Localism/ Local Gvt test for national behaviours – Role of national organisations in local delivery – Role of Govt in protecting the public’s health Requires completely different leadership style at every level

Behaviours (Duncan Selbie) – Our effectiveness depends on how we behave, so we will: consistently spend our time on what we say we care about work together, not undermine each other speak well of each other, in public and in private behave well, especially when things go wrong keep our promises, small and large speak with candour and courage
