Commissioner has 'weakest' role in UK

England's first children's commissioner has received a warm welcome from children's rights advocates, but they remain concerned that the Government's job specification for him is the 'weakest in the UK'. Professor Al Aynsley-Green, the Government's former health tsar, was appointed to the £100,000-a-year post last week. He will take on his new duties immediately and start full-time in July when he leaves his post of national clinical director for children at the Department of Health.
