Now we know why Magson left before the bomb was dropped.

She was scheduled to go anyway, though there were rumours she might be appointed to the permanent position and still be based in the UK.  The interesting question is how much her successor at the DHSC will be implicated.  Not to mention Ashford and others.

I hope it absolutely rips the fuckers to bits.

I wonder if Ashie comes out of this unscathed? Can the DHSC appeal?

I dread to think how much this has cost the taxpayers?

There's no financial limit to compensation in whistleblowing cases and if Ranson could claim for lost earning for the rest of her career, pension contributions etc it could be a pretty sizeable sum.  As serious will be the damage to the Island's reputation as a place to work for medical staff, particularly after the incomprehensible attempted prosecution of the anaesthetists.

A few red faces in Manx care , the system has not exactly covered itself in glory ,but not to worry just pay out the money ,  which will lead to  even more loss of  creditable status in the medical profession ,

Agreed, on the back of the anesthetists farce this is the silver bullet. Will any healthcare professional ever take the IOM seriously again?

Have any taken the IOM seriously in the first place. Other than those long standing consultants, doctors, surgeons and nursing staff the island is now having great difficulties in recruiting. We will get medical staff, but what calibre of staff, and have they been booted from a job in other jurisdictions, but not necessarily from the medical registers?

This is what happens when you put a rank amateur in charge of Health during the biggest medical crisis in generations. Still, in finest Manx fashion, lessons were learned and at least he wasn't subsequently put in charge of finances during the biggest fiscal crisis in generations. No, wait...

Can we have some accountability please? Those who have made serious errors of judgment - the same applies to politicos - should be thinking about their positions?

Mercifully so far the anaesthetists story doesn't seem to have any coverage outside the island - the BMA didn't issue a press release like they did with Ranson.  It doesn't mean the story might not get revived though - especially when the judgment is published.

I'm sorry, are you new to the island? The only thing they'll be thinking about is pension pots and salary increases.

There are so many threads on here where exactly this is the problem , no one is ever accountable for anything so who gives a toss !

Actually that’s what happens when you elect a delusional fantasist into power who is capable of projecting a layer of outer confidence to the world but who subliminally knows that’s he’s a fraud who probably needs an instruction book to boil an egg.

From Paul Moulton's comment it sounds like we may actually see some accountability. I suppose the women who has already left will be the scapegoat

That’s how it usually works. By the time someone is found to blame someone else parachuted out a year before because they knew they’d be the one to blame.
