Record and controversies
In 2014 it emerged that NHS England had commissioned SHA 'to consult patients’ groups, healthcare organisations and charities and produce a report that would be considered as part of its strategy for commissioning specialised services in the future'.
According to the Independent, SHA is funded by 13 drug companies, while its director John Murray is a lobbyist whose company, JMC Partners, works with clients such as pharmaceutical makers AstraZeneca and Pfizer and medical device company Cyberonics.
