Senior personnel meet to debate key issues.

: Prior to the start of the second day of April's Hospital Innovations 2016 show at Olympia, London, and immediately before Lord Carter gave an address at the event updating conference delegates on progress with he and his team's review of the 'productivity and efficiency' of English NHS acute hospitals, IHEEM held an 'invitation only' Chief Executives' Breakfast Briefing, at which senior personnel from both the NHS and private sector discussed some of their key concerns against today's difficult economic backdrop for the sector.
