Private consultancy firm KPMG is refusing to confirm or deny reports that Department of Health director of commissioning Gary Belfield is on the verge of joining the company, after he announced he will be leaving his job to take up another post.
Belfield, an architect of the World Class Commissioning initiative, is believed to be taking up a role with the firm. However a KPMG spokesperson said: ”We cannot comment at this time.”
Belfield has held roles in the NHS and DH for more than 25 years, with previous positions including head of primary care and chief executive of an NHS trust. As director of commissioning, he spearheaded World Class Commissioning, in conjunction with his predecessor, Mark Britnell.
Britnell, who was director-general for commissioning and system management at the department from 2007 to 2009, left the NHS to join KPMG.
