Some questions:

1. What qualifies to go on the register?
2, If it is not underwritten by some overarching ethical and public interest principles and the sort of processes regularity bodies should have surely it would be open to tribunal challenge? Will it have to reach a fair dismissal bar and what if the employer doesnt want to sack them?
3. Will it apply to private sector health service employers - either as those dismissing or those appointing previously unfit managers?
4. Will it include culpability for issues such as dismissing whistleblowers or systematically discriminating or bullying where the rest of the Board have colluded?
5 Far better, surely, to have a positive register, also covering private sector providers to the NHS from which poor managers can be removed?

Or is it a quick fix that suits Ministers but no one else and doesnt really address toxic management or recognise good management?
