David Fillingham. Where is the corporate manslaughter prosecution then?

Smug Git in a Purple Tie

David Fillingham is a negligent Chief Executive. I know that because he dealt with Ward 87. He was never held accountable for his misdemeanors. The reason for this is this - as a doctor, if you kill a patient, the GMC normally comes after you. If you are a manager and you kill patients by breaching the NHS Management Code of Conduct, your salary just gets hiked. There is no regulatory body for managers. Lord Darzi, the man with a lot to say decreed that managers should not have a regulatory body. As such, there are limited ways with which to discipline managers. Most NHS Managers tend to have psychopathic tendencies, have special parking spaces while the doctors struggle to park in emergencies and are paid 10 times more than the average hard working junior doctor.

Essentially, patients died on Ward 87. They didn't just die in the two weeks I worked there, they died in the 20 years before me and the 7 years after me. Now that's a lot of patients. David Fillingham knows all about corporate manslaughter because in a fair world, he would have been found guilty.

After Ward 87, the National Health Service gave him a second position of responsibility. That position was at the Royal Bolton Hospital. The Royal Bolton Hospital is one of the deadliest hospitals in the UK. David being the biggest concealer of death rates in the history of medicine was trying to get himself out of a tight spot, he stated

"David Fillingham, chief executive of the Royal Bolton Hospital NHS Trust, said Bolton appeared to have performed poorly because of how the figures are worked out — for example, if other trusts make improvements, Bolton’s standing is affected"

He added: “The quality of care that patients receive is our priority. We’ve had some outstanding achievements in reducing death rates, for instance, for patients who have had a stroke.”

Dr Foster, a consultancy that analyses health information, said 128 more people died at the hospital last year than expected.

You just keep winding the newspapers up David. The evidence though shows that David is as negligent as they come. Having effected the end of numerous lives by neglecting Ward 87, he continued to do the same in Bolton.

There is a solution to this - David Fillingham should be prosecuted for corporate manslaughter, thrown in a high security prison and left there. The NHS should also strip him of his pension.
