The CQC confirmed this month that John Adler, former chief exec, and Paul Traynor, former CFO, could not be referred as they no longer worked for a registered healthcare provider.

In his expert review of the FPP, Tom Kark QC said the FPPT does not stop “the unfit or misbehaved from moving around the system”.
The Kark review also recommended creating a new body, the Health Directors’ Standards Council, with the power to investigate complaints of misconduct by senior directors and bar them from sitting on NHS boards.
