Following the most recent review, of Liverpool Community Health NHS Trust conducted by Dr Bill Kirkup, the Government has accepted recommendations to further review the Fit and Proper Persons Requirement (FPPR). The current regulations and guidance relating to FPPR and the duty of candour will continue to operate in the event of evidence of harm or wrong doing.
