NHS Shared Business Services provides Finance and Accounting services to NHS organisations. It is a Joint Venture between the Department of Health and Xansa, designed to enable NHS organisations to improve the efficiency of their finance function, and thereby free up funds for frontline care.
When Xansa PLC won the contract to form a joint venture with the UK Department of Health to run its financial service centres in March 2005, Iain Spence was engaged by the joint venture as Change Director to set-up and lead a Service Optimisation Programme delivering business and systems change.
So successful was the programme, that the Managing Director, Graham Robson, later left Xansa and NHS Shared Business Services to join us as a Partner.
