Another charity falling into the 'business model'. Awaits complaints of bullying etc
Mr Wilkie is, as was noted upon his appointment, a career charity executive, who appears to bring no specialist childbirth knowledge, training or experience, beyond his fathering of three small children, to a body once proudly associated with expertise in parturition.
