Proceeding contribution from Alan Johnson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 15 October 2007. It occurred during Urgent question on Clostridium Difficile.
Clostridium Difficile
That is an important point that we need to look at. If the hon. Gentleman remembers, the document on the constitutional changes that the Prime Minister announced shortly after taking over had a clause on how we make such appointments. We should not take them back to the centre, but we need to ensure proper accountability throughout the system. In particular and as the hon. Gentleman suggests, we should be spotting these issues much earlier and getting rid of incompetent chief executives or chairpersons who, fortunately, are in the minority, rather than waiting for a report such as this, by which time, frankly, most of the damage has been done.
