Wide boy

There are a number of questions that might be put to Sir Christopher Stephen Wormald KCB, Permanent Secretary at the DHSC since 2016. 

Sir Christopher, 52 (Rutlish School, Merton and St John's College, Oxford) describes himself as "a classic Civil Servant", like his dad. He joined the "Fast Stream" straight from college. He spent 15 years at the DfE – including stints as principal private secretary to education secretaries Estelle Morris and Charles Clarke. His talents were admired by Lord Adonis, saying he "combines engaging wide-boy charm with bureaucratic mastery”. 

Has he retained that mastery at the DHSC ?  Where was he when Gina Coladangelo was appointed as a non-exec to the DHSC Board ?  How long has he known that Matt Hancock was conducting business on a private email account ?  How many employees and contractors at Victoria Street have access to CCTV footage of the Secretary of State's office ?
