Dear Anon 12:40 pm, you are very wise to keep your anonymity and not to fall for the "whistleblowers are protected" yarn. This is from personal experience.

As for the appointment, not doubt the appointee has excellent credentials. Nonetheless, when we appoint even a junior receptionist at our practice, we have to adhere to strict employment regulations, or we are taken to the cleaners. I wonder if the same applies to senior NHS posts. Perhaps, Ben Clover might be able to throw some light.
