…”You state that “The Government is committed to ensuring that Whistle-blowers are supported and protected” I would pass that message to the 47 Whistle-blowers who contacted CQC with concerns and had their names given by CQC to their employers, only it would be adding insult to injury.

As a whistle-blower myself I was fortunate in having a very different regulator who investigated the abuse and supported the 7 whistle-blowers through the trauma that followed and I am always grateful for that because I know the battle that has to be fought to get abuse stopped even when you have a competent and ethical regulator.
