PARLIAMENTARY HEALTH SERVICE OMBUDSMAN RESIGNS
The Parliamentary Health Service Ombudsman has resigned in the wake of revelations about the involvement of her former Deputy in a sexual harassment cover-up at an NHS Trust.
Dame Julie Mellor’s departure comes four months after it was revealed Dame Julie was made aware of the role played by her Deputy, Mick Martin, who helped to cover up the harassment of a Director while he was Acting Chair at Derbyshire Healthcare Foundation Trust.
An investigation has been carried out by Sir Alex Allan, former Chair of the Joint Intelligence Committee, into what Dame Julie knew about Mr Martin’s role and her failure to act. Sir Alex’s investigation has reported, but it has not yet been published.
