It follows an investigation carried out by Fiona Scolding KC.
Richard Stanton and Rhiannon Davies at the publication of the Ockenden Report
Ms Scolding has concluded that Mr Reid was fit and proper, stating:"Mistakes were made – and not everything was handled as it could and should have been. I do not find however that any of these actions amount to 'serious mismanagement'." The report had been commissioned by the trust in response to publicised concerns about its maternity services, however its publication was delayed after the trust disagreed with its findings.
The report also highlights the trust's response to criticism, stating:"When it felt under threat, it sought, on some occasions, to prioritise the reputation of the organisation above transparency and candour." "There should also have been consideration of whether the mechanism of oversight proposed by the trust’s executives was adequate, or if alternative processes for scrutiny and oversight should have been implemented. Whilst there was some discussion, this did not happen to a sufficient degree to satisfy NHSI in their report."
Ms Scolding added:"The trust has not dealt with Mr Stanton and Ms Davies in an open and honest way. That is undoubtedly true."
