Ian Dalton

Ian Dalton is Managing director of provider development at the Department of Health.

According to the Health Service Journal: "Ian Dalton is now at the heart of the NHS reform programme and someone to watch... Dalton’s agenda should include whether now is the time to have a proper failure regime for the NHS. Making progress on this will be a significant test. His work should put him in a strong position to be chief executive of the new economic regulator if that’s where he sees his future. If so, then his outputs in the next year will be as important to him as to the NHS."
