@C7RKY Yes 'never' mistakes - news featured them heavily a month or so back. Useful info last night, BTW. -
@paulrogers002 'Never tell events' more appropriate for us. How many unreported? £penalty for trust if reported too! Glad info was useful :) -
@C7RKY Yep - when even oversight body involved in cover-ups, it certainly makes you suspicious of private health trusts. -
@paulrogers002 Medical complaints system & laws surrounding it have been purpose built for self-protection imho. It's been enlightening :-/ -
@C7RKY I think that's true - medical complaints are a maze of mutual, confusing referrals that typically lead nowhere. -
@paulrogers002 I believe somebody actually said the purpose of the system is to wear complainants down till they give up. Often works too... -
@C7RKY Medical complaints procedure certainly defers decision for years - implying ruinous legal expense. -
@paulrogers002 And they start with that end in mind. That's why a pre-agreed defence is chosen with lawyers - to block. Regardless of blame. - 3 more replies
