Lois and family, we were very sad to hear of Alan’s passing and our thoughts are with you at this time. Alan was a great friend - always funny, optimistic, thoughtful and good company at all times. He worked closely with David on many projects and they became close friends, but we have both known Alan for over 30 years as a colleagues working with us in the NHS and helping us making improvements and effect change when we went into consultancy. He was committed to the NHS in all that he did and we are all grateful to him. We miss him and remember him very fondly. RIP
