I do hope that this is an error, or an extremely *temporary* measure whilst a proper and effective process is put in place, though imho there should be no need to rush to an interim appointment given the survival so far and that a fit and proper appointment could be made within 2-3 months anyway.
Well, the idea here is to have someone in the role right away because an enormous amount of work needs doing right away, and that we will work toward a "proper and effective" process for an appointment into the future.
We need help, and we need it now. :) And one of the roles of the interim ED will be to help drive forward the process.
