I mentioned a very short while ago on GN I had watched the Select Committee Rooms taking evidence from The Chief Nursing Officer/England, NHS Commissioning Board and the Dept Health and Lead Nurse, Public Health England being interviewed. It was in connection with the 2009 Report.
I was appalled at the statements they were making agreeing there was a lack of care and negligence in our hospitals and I was surprised nobody joined the thread. Now the full report has been made public I am shocked but not surprised by it's findings. 400 - 1200 patients died, what a disgrace.
As Andrew Neil said on today's Daily Politics programme this is 'Institutonal Manslaughter' and I for one am sorry nobody will be held to account from the Health Minister in control from 2005-2009, to the Managers and probably some staff also. I am not surprised to hear they were moved side-ways or promoted.
