I don't know that anyone would want to make anyone ill, wish anyone ill or hamper a return to health.
However, Dr Pleming is the CE of a charitable trust, recipient of public funds and willing to accept more.
He is therefore, whether he likes it or loathes it a public figure and we, the public are entitled to answers.
If he loathes the publicity when it is adverse he is the wrong man in the wrong job, but I think many of us already feel that. He has achieved great success in his role to date and making 558 a reality but he must recognise that the project, if it is to survive, needs a root and brach reform, not tinkering.
