Arguably poor judgements about the quality of leadership are worse than none at all. It was one of the areas the HCC Investigations Team covered but it's not easy and is very time consuming to do properly as involves cross checking what people say against the reality as evidenced by board minutes, strategic documents, governance papers etc across a period of time. I doubt if the CQC have the time, expertise and resources to do it justice. And again, done poorly will give false assurance or unjust criticism. Have lttle confidence this is safe in CQC's hands.
