        @BBCBreaking What's the point of fining a #NHS Trust? The money will come out of the public purse. Managers & staff involved should be fined

        @BBCBreaking Isn't fining a NHS entity effectively the same as fining the British taxpayer??

        @JoT4idigDiggle @DebHazeldine @BBCBreaking Will having £200k less in budget make easier or harder to improve service standards?

        @BBCBreaking @BBCNews People should be fined for their blunders not the hospital as a whole. Could this happen again?

        @BBCBreaking I ask the same question as the above; this fine benefits who? Taking money from an already deprived service is ludicrous.

        @BBCBreaking even less money for patient care! At average of £1000 for a planned daycase procedure that's 200 patients not treated! :(
