Cure the NHS is a distinctly innocent group of campaigners. I spotted one of them today on the Politics Programme. Apparently, they were shocked and startled that the government had refused Mid Staffordshire NHS Trust. What Julie fails to understand is her hospital is not the only hospital with such poor care. It is simply a hospital that was noticed. Other hospitals simply go unnoticed due to the lack of community spirit etc.
Their campaign is laudable. After ten years they will find themselves in the same state. They will also find that there is no justice, or improvement of healthcare or anything of the sort. The only people that make money and fame out of the deaths of patients are the MPs and the lawyers. I suspect a lot of money will be spent on various clauses through litigation. These scandals simply follow a re-run much like ground hog day. We have to ask ourselves what happened to the Thameside Group who promised so much but delivered so little. After 18 months Julie Bailey is exasperated. It has only been 18 months. After a decade, no doubt the hospital will simply be as it used to be - because that is the culture of the NHS.
In the meantime just down the road in Stoke on Trent, Dr Ahmed has persuaded the Express to support him. He is featured in the papers again today. The CQC have apparently taken up his concerns which is a step in the right direction. Of course, the CQC are rather capricious.
