Comment on Hospital bosses ignored months of doctors' warnings about Lucy Letby

The management team had also failed to report the deaths appropriately. It meant the wider NHS system could not spot the high fatality rates. The board of the hospital trust was also unaware of the deaths until July 2016.
This is devastating. Monitoring systems were set up after Harold Shipman, to make sure that such clear signals of something untoward would not be missed in future. Hospital management appear to have subverted those systems to protect their own reputations.

That is why capitalism is fundamentally stupid. It rewards the slimiest, not the best.

The NHS is not capitalist, it’s a centralised government managed health system.
Nice self own there.

Just goes to show you that any system can be subverted, however, in the capitalist system the subversion is often profitable with minimal consequences for the recipients of the profits. Yay, capitalism (/s).

Mate if you want to moan about capitalism in healthcare go and find an American community on Lemmy.

Keep telling yourself that while it’s slowly dismantled for profits.

France has the best health system in Europe and has a mix of public and private.

What are you talking about?

This is a publicly funded NHS hospital.
And before anyone makes any assumptions, I am not suggesting that’s a bad thing.
MotoAsh@lemmy.world 1 year ago
and why is it being dismantled? To replace it with a for-profit system…

Why would America do this?
