As an ex-PEC chair, I disagree that if one says something that is not PCT
Policy, then u automatically have to resign. It is rare that any board of
any organisation is always unanimous about everything. There is a duty on
any public body to open and accountable and this includes recognising
publicly that there are internal differences. No one would believe u
otherwise. I am sure that any board chair worth their salt would not ask a
PEC chair to resign unless the public disagreement was so damaging as to
threaten the organisation, was plainly wrong or about such a serious matter
that it would be a resignation issue. If the PEC chair felt that the threat
of being asked to resign was an attempt at gagging then he is duty bound,
especially over clinical policy issues, to resign and MUST whistle-blow
publically.
