Charlie Massey
In July 2016, Massey sought the approval of the Advisory Committee on Business Appointments (ACOBA) to take on the position of chief executive and registrar at the General Medical Council (GMC), the public body that maintains the official register of medical practitioners within the UK. The committee found that, even though the role would involve contact with government, the transition was not 'improper' and would benefit both the Department of Health and the health care sector. The appointment was approved on condition that Massey would not draw on information available to him from his time in Crown service, and he would not personally lobby government on behalf of GMC, outside of communications that are 'in the normal course of business for the GMC as a regulator'.
