The Executive Council (EC) have today passed a motion, by a majority vote, to suspend from office Research & Liaison Officer, John Paine, after a full internal investigation and careful consideration, since he had not acted in accordance with the aims and objectives of the CCBN, especially in the tone and content of external communication, the effect of which are considered to have been damaging to the progress the EC feel the organisation should make.

This is a step the EC regret having to take and acknowledge the work done by John Paine as Research and Liaison Officer which has been successful in many cases.
