The Case for a public inquiry into hospital standards is now overwhelming
After more revelations about standards of care at several NHS hospital trusts, the Liberal Democrats have said the case for a public inquiry is overwhelming.
Liberal Democrat Health spokesman Norman Lamb said:
“We were told that the Mid Staffordshire case was a one-off scandal.
“At the time I called for a public inquiry and it was rejected then.
“Now the case is overwhelming and we appear to have a system which seems to be able to deliver ‘paper-safety’ but not real ‘patient safety’.”
