<p>In 2018, the Government had asked Tom Kark QC to carry out a review of the scope,
operation and purpose of the Fit and Proper Person Requirement. The review, which
was published on 6 February 2019, made seven recommendations, including to develop
specified standards of competence that all directors, who sit on the Board, of any
health providing organisation, should meet.</p><p> </p><p>The Government accepts this
recommendation in principle, and has asked Baroness Dido Harding, the chair of the
system-wide Workforce Implementation Steering Group, to look at how best to introduce
new standards alongside other proposals on leadership and development of National
Health Service managers, which is set out in the NHS Long Term Plan.</p>
