bresail Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 I'm sorry about the cut and paste that I use in my posts but, some of the reports run into hundreds of pages. Gobbledy gook is another tactic to hide suspect clauses. This means that readers give up reading quickly.Today, Robert Francis QC, Chairman of the Inquiry publishes his final report. This is just an extract from a report.Today the Chairman makes 290 recommendations designed to change this culture and make sure patients come first by creating a common patient centred culture across the NHS.The Chairman’s recommendations include: A structure of fundamental standards and measures of compliance: A list of clear fundamental standards, which any patient isentitled to expect which identify the basic standards of carewhich should be in place to permit any hospital service tocontinue. These standards should be defined in genuine partnership withpatients, the public and healthcare professionals and enshrinedas duties, which healthcare providers must comply with. Non compliance should not be tolerated and any organisationnot able to consistently comply should be prevented fromcontinuing a service which exposes a patient to risk To cause death or serious harm to a patient by non compliancewithout reasonable excuse of the fundamental standards, shouldbe a criminal offence. Standard procedures and guidance to enable organisation andindividuals to comply with these fundamental standards shouldbe produced by the National Institute for Clinical Excellence withthe help of professional and patient organisations. These fundamental standards should be policed by the CareQuality Commission (CQC) Openness, transparency and candour throughout the systemunderpinned by statute. Without this a common culture of beingopen and honest with patients and regulators will not spread.Including: A statutory duty to be truthful to patients where harm has or mayhave been caused Staff to be obliged by statute to make their employers aware ofincidents in which harm has been or may have been caused to apatient Trusts have to be open and honest in their quality accountsdescribing their faults as well as their successesThe deliberate obstruction of the performance of these dutiesand the deliberate deception of patients and the public shouldbe a criminal offence It should be a criminal offence for the directors of Trusts to givedeliberately misleading information to the public and theregulators The CQC should be responsible for policing these obligationsThis is what I want to see.

bresail Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Part of an Article from Mail online Department of Health surveyed 101,000 doctors, nurses and paramedics One quarter said they had been harassed or bullied in the past 12 months38 per cent suffered work-related stress and 15 per cent bullied by patients The poll also revealed that nearly a quarter of workers had been harassed or bullied by other colleagues over the past 12 months. Nearly 40 per cent of doctors would not recommend their own hospital to friends or family, startling new figures reveal. A further one in three do not believe NHS managers act on the concerns of patients. The Department of Health’s own survey also found that a third of NHS staff had witnessed medical blunders or near misses at least once in the last month.

bresail Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 I am as most people know very interested in this subject and I have now read hundreds of pages of documents for and against the present NHS debacle.I am becoming more and more surprised at the lengths that some ministers and managers are going to, to protect themselves and their, at times flawed and downright dangerous decisions.Do we really have people that are willing to cause deaths and then lie or attempt to squirm out of the blame?Are these people also willing to put their family and friends in jeopardy or do they have a method of drawing attention to the importance of certain patients? Maybe a recognisable mark on the documents!I do not want to believe this but, I also don't want to believe that they would allow their family and friends to receive bad services.Shipman was a murderer, but a person or persons who allow thousands of negligent deaths to occur is not even reprimanded.Another thing that I have found is that the NHS insurance for frontline and secondline staff is obviously biased towards protecting the NHS more than the staff. I should have realised this before, because it is so obvious.So they too can be thrown to the wolves!How would the people who set up the NHS feel now? Rex Fearnehough fuit hic 1948.

bresail Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 From The Guardian Friday 15 March 2013 15.39 GMT Woman charged over death of child in nursery playground Woman charged with gross negligence manslaughter after death of Lydia Bishop in York in September last year The above is about a tragic health and safety issue. The two cases below are not health and safety issues? More than 20,000 lives could have been saved if government ministers and the NHS had paid attention to warnings about high death rates in hospitals, according to a government health adviser. From The Guardian Friday 15 March 2013 15.39 GMT Professor Sir Brian Jarman, who co-founded the health statistics and research service Doctor Foster, said he had sent the then health secretary Andy Burnham a list of hospitals with higher-than-average death rates in 2010, but no action was taken. Several of those hospitals are now the subject of a government review into their high mortality ratios. From The Guardian Friday 15 March 2013 15.39 GMT Panel rules that Joanne Thompson's fitness to practise was not impaired after baby boys given 'excessive' dose of morphine Stafford hospital nurse who treated overdose twins allowed to keep working Panel rules that Joanne Thompson's fitness to practise was not impaired after baby boys given 'excessive' dose of morphine Regards,Rex.

bresail Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 Hi, no wonder they are cutting back in Shetland! Damn I am at fault! The powers that be, believed what I wrote and rather than check the true figures, based their cut backs on my figures.Sorry.I also apologise to the Medical board, the NHS executive board, the NHS non executive board and the other three non remembered boards for leading them astray.It should have read, The percentages above follow a similar pattern for Shetland NHS. Frightening isn't it. This post is an attempt at humour but I had to add a barb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
