Ernst & Young suggest a radical downgrade of #MidStaffs with loss of ICU, Paeds and emergency surgery services. Cutting income by £100m.
@ShaunLintern I'm beginning to appreciate that more & more. Point stands tho. Should be fixed if needed, no matter how late the undertaking.

@C7RKY Well that's a much bigger debate about NHS finances, funding and staffing. Reality is we cant fix it. -
@ShaunLintern It's not a good day when we accept that the people tasked with providing a safe healthcare system for us, are unable to do so.

@C7RKY@ShaunLintern Might be unfixable though, units too small to be safe. -
@JHPatientSafety
@ShaunLintern But small units have supposedly run safely for decades. When did they suddenly become unsafe because of size? -
@C7RKY @JHPatientSafety Size isnt the issue...it's viability in the round. You can have an unsustainable large unit too. -
@ShaunLintern @JHPatientSafety Viability based upon what criteria though Sean? It can't be all about the bean-counters, surely? -
@C7RKY @JHPatientSafety I'm not talking finance only, it's in the round. Viability means providing safe and sustainable care in long term.
