Rob Webster, chief executive of the NHS Confederation responded to the news that Matt Tee, chief operating officer at the NHS Confederation has been appointed as the first chief executive of the Independent Press Standards Organisation.

"Matt had been a real force for change in the NHS and will be missed by his colleagues at the NHS Confederation. He is a great choice for the role as CEO of the new press regulator and I wish him every success in the future."
