Lorraine joined the PRSB in November 2015. After the first half of her career in corporate banking, Lorraine moved into the NHS 18 years ago, initially as one of the executive team responsible for creating the new health regulator, the Healthcare Commission. There Lorraine was responsible for defining and implementing the information strategy to transform the approach to regulation through the intelligent use of information.

Since then, she has built wide experience of different parts of the NHS, including roles as director of national support at the NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement, commercial director in an NHS Mental Health and Community Trust, director of commissioning at Oxfordshire CCG and head of strategy at NHS England (south).

Tim Horton joined the Health Foundation in December 2015 as an Associate Director. His role is focussed on identifying and communicating the insights and learning from the Health Foundation’s programmes, as well as supporting the spread of health care innovation and improvement.

From 2011 to 2015, Tim was health policy adviser to the Leader of the Opposition, the Rt Hon Ed Miliband MP, and Head of Public Services at the Labour Party. He also convened the independent Taskforce on Mental Health in Society, whose report The Mentally Healthy Society was published in January 2015.
Prior to this, Tim was Research Director at the Fabian Society, where he published research in several areas of social and economic policy. In 2005 he was a special adviser at the Department of Trade & Industry and prior to that a policy adviser on science and innovation policy at HM Treasury.
