Information Commissioner

[Peter Pedant]

Let's hear it for the Info Commissioner

who has come out of his Data Protection cubby hole and said basically the act doesnt apply here (over riding public interest )


and I dont say lets hear it for...... very often
as I have to say the service of some of his underlings is / was pretty scabby

oops "here" is in the case of the anonymity of Messrs A - J in the Furness Report by Grant Thornton

We already know Dame Jo ( 'its been a difficult year....') was chair
Cynthia Bowers was chief exec
Kay Sheldon ('I have been treated disgracefully') is the Whistleblower

The first two have shifted at the first sign of trubble with mega pay outs of course. Dame Jo ('I have a duty of care' hahahaha [ laughter added ] ) is the one who tried to have KS removed from the Board on the grounds of insanity. Andrew Lansley wouldnt.

I have applied to the CQC for a copy of the 'deleted report'
under the F O I . It sort of wasnt deleted by everyone - of course they are civil servants - but I dont know what to do with it once I get it.

I very much hope to see Cynthia Bower hauled in front of a Select Committee for a good roasting. I have had the dubious pleasure of being a senior member of an organisation that she terrorised with some very unappealing bullying tactics - some karma would be nice.

She was out of her depth when she was a regional NHS Chief Exec and should never have been appointed to the CQC job - way beyond her competence level.

Behan was again on Newsnight last night. Say what you like about this chap but at least he has the honesty and integrity to be submitted to a Paxo-ing again !

What a pity the Bowers, et all don't have the same qualities.

Sunny-dave...I am sure that I can speak for many here on AB...we are all intrigued ! Can you give us even a tenny weeny bit more info please ?

Please ?
