The health service journal (UK) has released its list of the 50 most influential Health Sector figures who will exercise the most power and influence in the NHS and in health policy over the next 12 months. This is the first time such a list has been presented and is produced at a time even more critical due to the ongoing pandemic. UK Chancellor Rishi Sunak is a notable absence on this list whilst Manchester United Footballer Marcus Rashford to some may be seen as a surprise inclusion. His campaign on extending school lunches was successful and indeed earned him an MBE (Member of the Order of the British Empire).
