Recommendation, verbatim from the inquiry
●Inquiry recommendation, 2.5
The appointment of external advisors shall be approached on the basis that they are truly external, if not strictly independent in a legal sense. There is no point having external advisers as ‘window dressing’ for a fixed internal view. Where they or representatives of the Royal Colleges give advice, proper weight shall be given to that advice. In giving advice, external advisers shall bear in mind the paramount requirement of patient care where there is a conflict of interest.
