THE former deputy chief executive of the Care Quality Commission Jill Finney, named as one of those implicated in the cover-up of the health regulator’s failure to investigate a spate of baby deaths, has been dismissed by the Oxfordshire firm she joined in March.

Internet domain name registration firm Nominet, based at the Oxford Science Park, announced her dismissal from her role of chief commercial officer last night.

A Nominet spokesman said: “The increasing public scrutiny over our CCO’s former role at CQC has made it impossible for her to continue with her role and responsibilities at Nominet.”
