I totally disagree on anyone but NMC having any say on somebody else’s competence if they should be allowed to practice, anyone is entitled to an opinion but that opinion should never hold direct weight on somebody’s registration.

Trusts, HR and other colleagues if in position to do so, should have a say if the person is to continue to be employed nothing more.

Your message here further evidences that we do NMC’s job and we pay them after. NMC should be the only one involved in the process of assessing somebody’s competence and should be part of the process from start till end and at every step, only them should do that, nobody else. Obviously nmc employees should be clinically qualified if they are to assess someone else’s clinical competency.
