Aidan Halligan was not a clinician in any meaningful sense, and I think
there are good reasons we should all congratulate him on his most excellent
new appointment, especially if also ends his tenure as Deputy CMO England
and Wales.
Laurie, I think there are several members of this very list who could do
the job at NPfIT, and add a great deal more value and expertise than the
previous incumbent.
It would be very interesting to see what happened if anyone felt like applying.
