Part of 3. 3. Topical Questions – in the Senedd at 2:39 pm on 3 May 2017.
Clearly, we have to await the full investigation before we can make any decisions, or before any of the professional bodies can make any decisions about what consequences might flow on from that, so I agree with what the Cabinet Secretary has said and note his strong words in that regard. However, there have been administrative consequences from Tawel Fan: the chief executive was suspended and then, in turn, as the Minister has just outlined, the health board itself was taken into special measures. So, I want to understand what he’s done, as the Cabinet Secretary, around the administration now of Besti Cadwaladr, and two things in particular: can he just confirm that not a penny has been paid to the members of Betsi Cadwaladr health board after it was taken into special measures, because it would be wrong, wouldn’t it, for failure to be rewarded in that way? Secondly, can he also confirm that no money has been paid to Professor Trevor Purt after he began working in England?
