From a point of view of Governance, this questions the ineffective role of the SHA to performance manage 'Trusts on their patch, The vision of SHA's is to improve the health of the population in the SHA area, not so in the Mid Staff area. Of course there will be no Public Inquiry as both the current CEO of the NHS and CQC would need to answer some difficult questions in their roles at the time of the Mid Staff scandal.
