The pressure on chief executives and the risk of failure are so great that few candidates are coming forward.
The NHS management body count is mounting. In the year since Robert Francis QC unveiled his final report following the Mid-Staffordshire scandal, 10 chief executives have resigned over performance issues.
Is this a sign of a commitment to the highest standards of leadership, or a system where senior managers are being set up to fail?
Seven chief executives have quit from foundation trusts, and three from trusts. At least three more are in difficulties.
A trawl through Health Service Journal's coverage of the departures reveals a catalogue of failure. Treatment delays, understaffing, weak leadership, bullying, data irregularities, missed targets, deteriorating finances, unsafe care, A&E mismanagement and poor governance litter the charge sheets.

More privatisation strategy? Make the roles so bad that eventually private companies take over?
