PROBLEMS TO BE ADDRESSED: Current College Council: Two very different functions (Board of Charity Trustees
and paediatricians’ representative body) Too big for effective decision-making (poss max 51
members). Attendance c.50%. Not have the skills to oversee an organisation of £20m
turnover, 17,000 members – both over five times increased from when established in 1996.
Regulators demanding reform. (Last of Medical Royal Colleges to reform)
