Barbara Hakin
Dame Barbara Hakin was Deputy Chief Executive of NHS England until 2015, and previously national managing director of commissioning development at the Department of Health.
According to the Health Service Journal, Dame Barbara Hakin is vitally important to the relationship between the future of the NHS and the current leadership: "Ask anyone in the DH who is in charge of the 75 per cent of the future of the NHS that is concerned with commissioning, and time after time people tell you that person is Dame Barbara."[1]
