In normal circumstances it would be right to review the numbers on the Board of Directors but for it to be credible it must be done in the right way. Otherwise the Board runs the risk of losing all trust. This case appears to be a classic example of the HRD doing the right thing, trying to prevent an unhealthy and ultimately dangerous culture developing any further and being hounded out of the place in the worst possible way. I suspect the review of structure was a way of solving a serious problem once it was clear there was no case against her(there probably never was one) and not a Board of Directors being responsible in the use of public funds... After all IF she was suspended for nothing or on the basis of things made up against her isn't that a waste!? I too know people in the hospital and am reliably informed that the CQC did not investigate the claims she made.. More a case of clever press release writing which I'm sure the Liverpool Echo would be keen to put right!
