Retire Rather Than Resign

[sir.prize]

NHS England chief executive Sir David Nicholson randed ‘the man with no shame’ to retire on his own terms with a gold-plated pension worth £1.9million after refusing to carry the can for standards of care which led to the deaths of up to 1,200 people.

Any comments folks?

Are you at all surprised,sir.prize?(Sorry,it sounds a bit like Cilla Black that), but the trough for these arrogant greedy pigs just gets deeper and deeper.

Two good points there, Everhelpful (including the Cilla one)!

The problem is, he is gulty morally, but not legally - only one of those concepts would take his pension - and indeed his liberty - away from him.

Ah!, so the Public sector is competing with the Bankers of the private sector...........e.g Sir Fred Goodwin

No one carries the can these days.
This man is just another in a very long list

//to retire on his own terms// Is this true? I would have thought he has a contractual entitlement to a specific pension on retirement.
