So what's your agenda with the NHS then? Are you going to paste more shocking reports on here?
Yes one more.
Just try and defend the last one then.
It's broken , and we all know why but it's still our NHS they still do a lot of good despite a lot of bad
Do you think we should just accept it then? I think that it is possible to excuse a reasonable number of errors purely on the number of patients they deal with. What I find it impossible to accept is when they kill, and cause brain damage to so many mothers and babies, over a 20 year period, and try to sweep it under the carpet.
No it's to your response. I mean alot of what your saying must be personal to you. Did they cut off your balls instead of removing a cataract? Personally I've had no problem with them but reading this I'm so wary know.
No we shouldn't accept it ,you do realize there is errors in most organisations it's just that when there is errors in the NHS it's highlighted more and i feel for the people that's it's happened to

As I said earlier, for me its not the fact that there are errors. Its the repeating of exactly the same errors over a 20 year period, followed by attempting to sweep them under the carpet, rather than coming clean. I am sure that those that have suffered from these errors will appreciate that you feel for them, although many are dead, so they dont appreciate anything.

Mother-of-two who couldn't get a GP appointment dies of 'quickest killing cancer' just weeks after father found her clinging to a bench in agonising stomach pain
A mother-of-two died just five weeks after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, which was only diagnosed after her father found her clinging to a bench in agony outside a coffee shop. According to Yvonne Powell, 49, her older sister, Verna Jackson (pictured) was as a 'very private, very quiet, just very reliable, dependable, honest' person. The 50-year-old fundraiser from Formby had been struggling with agonising stomach pains. Paracetamol did not help with the pain, and Verna was unable to reach her GP over the phone to make an appointment for weeks.However, Verna didn't tell her family about the pain, which kept getting worse and worse, and so they didn't find out until her father found her clinging to a bench outside Costa in agony April last year.
Hospital doctors refuse to do more weekend shifts in a bid to protect their 'work-life balance': Critics claim that low weekend staffing increases death rate for NHS patients

One in five NHS trusts get 'red' baby death rating: Audit reveals mortality rate for women during pregnancy or within a year of giving birth is more than 5% above the average recorded in other countries
A national audit revealed that 23 were given the rating for 2020 - meaning the death rate was more than 5 per cent above average. The figure is up 50 per cent on the 14 trusts of 2019. The report from Mothers and Babies: Reducing Risk through Audit and Confidential Enquiries (MBRRACE) examined stillbirths and deaths within four weeks of birth. Another report from the body found that the number of women who died up to six weeks after having a baby was up by a quarter over five years. It said 229 mothers died alongside 27 of their babies from 2018 to 2020, with many of the deaths 'avoidable'. A further 289 women died between six weeks and a year after birth. Last week a study by an international team of researchers revealed that UK mothers were over three times more likely to die during pregnancy or within a year of giving birth than their counterparts in Norway.

Young mother reveals sepsis warning signs after losing both feet and 10 fingers
A young mother lost both her feet and all 10 fingers to sepsis after a significant delay in treatment, an investigation has found.
Sadie Kemp has been left permanently disabled from the “dangerous condition”, whilst an NHS hospital probe found a 3.5 hour delay in starting her care.
Sadie is now calling for lessons to be learned after the internal report found numerous concerns in her treatment that ultimately led to her needing multiple amputations.
The investigation found not only should the sepsis have been discovered and treated sooner, but the “lack of effective treatment” of the sepsis prior to the surgery meant she needed prolonged critical care.
The drugs needed to regulate her heart during this period caused her to develop gangrene in her fingers and toes needing “extensive amputation surgery.”
Her 10 fingers were removed in May and she received two leg amputations from the ankle down at a private clinic, costing £18,000.
Her hope is the new type of surgery she received privately will allow for more of her legs to be saved, giving her a permanent prosthesis’ which become fused to the bones.
This treatment is not currently available on the NHS.
Mistakes happen on a minscule scale as a % of total work, with a workforce that works too many hours and hasn't embraced technology. Thats not surprising. Key is to see those stats trending down to zero. It's sad for those involved obviously.
What are your recommendations for fixing the problems, Haysie?

Agree with most of this. The NHS is great at seeking to embrace shiny new expensive drugs. But hasn't yet accepted that fax machines are rather 1980s.
The workforce does work too many hours. Except for the key personnel, who seem to believe that it is their right to work office hours. Which I could accept for the Head of a Department, provided their Number 2 worked weekends to gain frontline experience and authority. But it rarely happens.
Disturbing that payouts are on the increase-far fewer Lawyers get involved in Clin Neg these days, as changes in the Law have made it much less attractive from the perspective of legal fees.
One suggestion that IMO would improve things is bringing back something that was scrapped a few years ago. It used to be the case that, if there was a complaint about X Health Trust, it was always handled by people employed by a different Health Trust. That should return.
It's not easy for Haysie. It is important to remember that he was fortunate to work in an industry where the workers are all known for being wonderful people, and everyone tried to help their customers.
That's why, every week, we all stood outside our houses to clap the timeshare salesmen

What are your recommendations for fixing the problems, Haysie?
I dont want to keep repeating myself, but I have said before a number of times that I have the utmost admiration for the NHS frontline staff. I also agree that purely on the number of patients they treat, you have to accept that some mistakes are bound to occur. It is unfortunate that in the case of the NHS the results of these mistakes can be so horrific, as per the one above. The mistakes that in my view are unforgiveable, are some of those covered earlier in the thread, where they continue to repeat the same mistakes over and over, sometimes for 20 years. These mistakes are exacerbated when they try to sweep them under the carpet.

I also find stuff like this absolutely ridiculous.

Ouch.
Managed to find a photo of @HAYSIE when he was in the "holiday ownership business".
