As well as the reasons Jason lists, I think there are difficulties relating to preserving anonymity here. The identities of the people involved are known to me, to Community Health, and to the external investigation—but not as far as I’m aware to the EV boards. The external investigation is complete, and I can’t share evidence with the EV boards without damaging that anonymity (although note also that I don’t completely agree with Kat’s characterisation of my view of the evidence). Moreover, although it’s transparent to me who this finding must be relating to, it’s presumably not transparent to the EV boards that it’s transparent to me, so I imagine they want to avoid leaking any bits of information about people who may or may not have spoken to the investigation. (I’m still not in fact certain that this person spoke to the investigation! It seems unlikely-but-conceivable that the finding is a garbled version of a thing I said to the investigation about the person’s bad experience.)
I understand now that the boards wanted to base their actions just on the findings of the investigation, so there could be no question about the process being impartial.
