I'm really looking forward to reading that. It's looking like being the best since the Inglis judgement in 2016, and maybe even better. As a rule there's a lot of artful passive-aggressive phrasing in these documents, but sometimes they just let the loser have it right between the eyes.

Gladys Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 You could only wonder that if Mrs Magson could have popped along the corridor to check if an alternative suitable position had to be offered, then all this could have been avoided. 🤔 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlebushy Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 David Ashford was Magson's backer and we have such a strong track record in these appointments (He rides a Harley anyone?) Incidentally Spicer, who was appointed at the same time, lasted 2 months! Kathryn Magson has been appointed Interim Chief Executive Officer at the Department of Health and Social Care, on a secondment from her current role as Chief Executive at NHS Herts Valleys Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG). Ms Magson who has 12 years of experience in NHS senior management, will take over from current Interim CEO Angela Murray. Ms Magson is due to take up her role on 1 January 2020. Minister for the Department of Health and Social Care David Ashford said: ‘Kathryn will take over the helm at DHSC at an exciting time of change and opportunity as we remodel the department and consider new ways to deliver services. Alongside responsibility for a large department and budget there is the day-to-day business to run - quite an undertaking, but Kathryn has an impressive track record of getting things done. She will build on the ongoing work of committed staff groups to develop and improve services across the board.’ John Spicer is appointed Health and Care Transformation Director following Tynwald’s unanimous agreement to implement all recommendations arising from Sir Jonathan Michael’s independent review of the Island’s health and social care system. Mr Spicer has extensive experience in a variety of senior roles in health and care services in England and takes up his role leading the Transformation team in the Cabinet Office this week. Chief Secretary Will Greenhow said: ‘The Transformation Programme is charged with creating a sustainable system of health and care services for generations to come, and it will take drive, determination and a steady hand to bring about essential reforms. I am confident John is the right man for the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(This was in his 'the role of IT in change management' PhD research phase). Well, that went well. Remote working at a very, if not the most, senior level works when organisations are settled and not about to embark on a major restructuring exercise. Perhaps that was in the later chapters of his M&E Handbook (if anyone remembers them) on management. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I've been impressed by that as well and I missed a couple from my comment (his indexing isn't always consistent). But One Man and his Imaginary Mongoose can only do so much - he had to stop today's coverage early for example because of other commitments.

Even though it clearly wasn't. The fact that no one has yet been announced rather suggests this was the case and Magson backed out since, leaving them with nobody.

That's a mad rumour. There was a pretty long twitter discussion about it a while back, with Hooper saying having such a senior role being run from anywhere is great and he doesn't see what the problem is, and everyone else disagreeing. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Human Resources senior manager should be fired for allowing this shambles to get to this stage, must be costing a fortune, rumour has it that gov is paying 10k a day for U.K. lawyer to defend them at tribunal, by the media coverage, it’s a waste of money even trying. Defending the unjust. U.K. Medical board sent over top barristers to put Ransons case. They wouldn’t do that if it wasn’t a solid case. Hooper is like a chocolate fireguard letting his dept try to defend the treatment of highly qualified doctor. Money wasted could have saved lives. 5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
