Ernst & Young LLP Partnership with CHS
February 9, 2011
CHS are in discussions to form a partnership with Ernst & Young to bring our experience and track record to align with one of the biggest corporate consultancy agencies. Both organisations recognise the benefit of the partnership combining the strategic and organisational change management record of Ernst & Young with the specialist skills of CHS in advising Councils on different models of service externalisation.
Mike Walsh says “we welcome the opportunity to work with one of the Country’s leading corporate consultant businesses and believe we are well placed to work together to advise Councils as well as Health Agencies and GPs on joint working in the new world of health and social care.”
A programme of seminars are planned in the Spring of 2011 to advise Directors and Chief Executives of Councils and Health Commissioning and Provider Organisations on new models of health and social care delivery based on practical case examples supported by high profile speakers.
