Maintain pressure on reforms to protect NHSRegulator will not appoint new vice-president for six months
The regulator’s council voted unanimously to revoke its current standing order, which created the vice-president post, at a special council meeting this month. The meeting had been convened to discuss the Council for Healthcare Regulatory Excellence’s recent report into the running of the NMC.
For the next six months, the council will be headed solely by a newly elected president, who will take up their post in September following the departure in August of current incumbent Nancy Kirkland.
Last month former vice-president Moi Ali resigned in the fallout from the CHRE report.
Ms Ali, who became vice-president in 2006, was one of seven council members to raise concerns about the regulator and is pursuing a tribunal case against the NMC, alleging racism and bullying.
