Commenting on Sir Simon Stevens stepping down from NHS England, RCN President, Professor Dame Anne Marie Rafferty, said:
“Sir Simon Stevens has led the NHS though enormous changes and challenges, and has worked relentlessly to transform the service for the benefit of both staff and patients.
“He led on the creation of the Long Term plan for the NHS, setting a bold policy direction, strong framework and foundation for building safe staffing into the future.
“He always spoke about nurses and doctors, in that order, and I would like to thank him for the incredible support he has given us as a community and profession throughout the pandemic.
