Anon @13:41 is correct - a thoroughly well-thought out argument - but will anyone listen? As well as Mid Staffs, one could quote Bristol Royal Infirmary Public Inquiry [Sir Ian Kennedy QC, July 2001]; Liverpool Care Pathway Review [Baroness Julia Neuberger DBE, July 2013]; University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay Report [Dr Bill Kirkup CBE, March 2015]; Southern Health Independent Review [Mazars LLP, December 2015]; and Gosport War Memorial Hospital Report [Rt Rev James Jones KBE, June 2018].

Patronising disposition of unaccountable power; institutional regime; ‘old boy’s culture’; lax safety; secrecy; lack of monitoring; arrogance; indifference; disrespect; poor practice; uncaring; rushed; ignorant are just some of the adjectives from the conclusions of these expensive inquiries?

Buy can anyone put their hand on their heart and honestly say that anything has changed?
