The planned inquiry (independent review) will be chaired by Lynda Thomas, Chief Executive of Macmillian Cancer Support and Professor Martin Gore, Consultant Medical Oncologist and Professor of Cancer Medicine at the Royal Mardsen, with Peter Wyman, Chair of the Care Quality Commission as vice-chair.

The terms of reference for the review are still to be agreed with the Chairs.
