North Staffordshire NHS Trust Lies to the Press

Won by North Staffordshire NHS Trust

Well well well, a decade later we find out the sniveling ways of the press office at North Staffordshire NHS Trust. They essentially told the press that none of my concerns regarding Ward 87 were upheld.

This is what the Daily Mail wrote on the 4th April 2000

" A spokesman for the North Staffordshire Trust said all Dr Pal's specific and general criticisms had been investigated but not upheld"

They told the press this in the year 2000 admitted today via an FOI request response. FOIA 2008/208. This letter was written on Friday 13th February 2009. How ironic!

Shall we see the evidence then? Ah yes, the concerns were upheld by the CHI Report and Two Internal Reports. Shall we see what the reports said again [ ah yes, yes, yes, rubbing salt in the wounds of those who would love to have seen me whimper away like all other whistleblowers]

The summary of the 2001 Creamer Report concealed by the GMC stated as follows

(a) “Patient care was clearly affected by the failures identified”;
(b) “The Directorate failed to take appropriate action when the allegations were made in a statement by Dr Pal”;
(c) “Although medical and nursing staff were concerned about the range of issues...no one voiced their concerns except Dr Pal which either demonstrated a general acceptance of the issues or staff felt unable to raise concerns”.

This is simply to show all of you the lying ways of North Staffordshire NHS Trust. The question we have to ask ourselves is this, why did the Trust lie and why did two Labour MPs lie to conceal the findings?

Of course, no one has anything to say these days do they - apart from keep silent like a bunch of stoned idiots.
