Kim Holt Tells Us That Rome is Burning.

David Southall had warned of the current state of child protection. His warnings were essentially side lined. Now, the profession has struck off David, child protection continues to fail. There is a distinct lack of understanding by the media. They fail to link the current disarray in child protection services to that of the matters in David Southall's case. The two are interrelated but considered separately.

So, as predicted one child protection specialist after another is being scapegoated. No doubt, the GMC will be joining in the party to ensure more child protection specialists set up tents at the side of their plush Manchester Offices.

The Telegraph features Kim Holt. It takes some balls to whistleblow on Great Ormond Street.

"The reports, seen by The Daily Telegraph, say that child safety at the clinic was a matter for “grave concern” and that Great Ormond Street managers failed to act adequately on “significant problems” identified by the most senior doctors at the clinic more than a year before Baby P’s death. Instead, the “most vocal” was removed from her job, they say. There was inadequate staffing at the clinic, and “the workload of the consultant team was excessive"

So if the whistleblower at Great Ormond Street cannot keep her job, what hope is there for anyone else?

Rome is burning and the peasants are sleeping. The NHS is in disarray - it is just taking a while for the public to understand the current critical status.
