Dear Mr Perkin
I write further to my
email of Monday 29 March 2004. I
have now met with Michael Taylor who will now be starting the active
investigation. He will make contact
with you in the very near future (probably before you go on holiday) to agree
when you might meet and to make arrangements for the submission of the
information you have which is relevant to the investigation.
In my discussion with Michael, I was able to confirm the following
points:
1.
His previous NHS investigations have commonly involved consideration of
the actions and conduct of senior managers and corporate bodies.
2.
Findings from Michael’s investigations have generally been made public.
I am sure you will
recall that I agreed to clarify the position in respect of the above when we
met.
I am also able to
advise you of South West London SHAs plans to make the finalised report public.
When completed, I will submit the report to the SHA.
They will need some 2 to 3 weeks to consider the report and prepare an
initial response. They will then
release the report in full at an appropriate public meeting.
At the same time as they do this, I will personally send a copy of the
full report directly to you.
I trust the above is
satisfactory. Above all, I am
pleased that we are now actively progressing the investigation.
Yours sincerely
David Sissling
Chief Executive
