What are the immediate implications of awarding Damehoods to Sarah Healey and Phil Douglas, given their respective controversies?

Sarah Healey, a civil servant known for her work-from-home advocacy, was appointed a Dame Commander of the Order of the Bath. This follows her promotion to Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, despite previous criticism for prioritizing Peloton use during lockdowns.
