Less than twelve hours after announcing that Tory led Northumberland County Council were investigating issues raised by its suspended half time Chief Executive Mrs Daljit Lally, who in a series of e-mails to the Tory Leader Peter Jackson expressed concerns of corruption and illegalities, the voice’s of the Tory Party, Daily Mail and Telegraph ran out a story that the Company Wellburn Homes were paid extra from the public purse to take Covid patients into their care. Wellburn Homes have a number of care homes in Northumberland.
The other half
of Mrs Lally’s time is spent as a senior official of the Northumbria NHS
Foundation Trust and care for the elderly is handled by the Council she is CEX
of. We understand her job at the NHS is to manage patients out of hospital to
be supported or nursed out in the Community keeping the NHS trust figures at a
low level.
This dual role
was bound to lead to conflict. It seems it has but whose role is it to investigate
the happenings and will this exposure colour the obvious failings of good
governance in Northumberland County Council and the extremely muddled mess both
the Tories who are accused of mismanagement and corruption and their CEX now
find themselves in?
