The Fit and Proper Persons Requirement (FPPR) requires NHS providers to ensure that their directors are 바카라 사이트˜fit and proper바카라 사이트™ to carry out their duties.
One of the aims of the FPPR is to prevent directors who have committed misconduct from moving around the NHS.
We carried out our investigation after a whistle-blower (Ms K) brought their complaint to us, which we partly upheld.
We found that the Care Quality Commission바카라 사이트™s handling of FPPR was not transparent, fair or proportionate and it amounted to maladministration.
We recommend that within eight weeks of this report, the Care Quality Commission should:
- send a formal apology to Ms K for the injustice and distress that their actions have caused her
- offer £500 to Ms K in recognition of the injustice caused to her
- review their learning from this case and report back to us on the improvements they have made to demonstrate rigour in their FPPR considerations.
