NHS in England told to reveal avoidable deaths data "There is no standard definition of an avoidable death and each hospital trust makes its own judgment" >So what's the point, if they can just choose not to define a death as avoidable?http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-42347942 …

>> "It is estimated there are up to 9,000 deaths in hospitals each year caused by failings in NHS care." > It would take 173 terrorist attacks like 7/7 EVERY year to equal this death toll. Where is the outrage, UK??

Replying to @Allyncondon
I wish I knew Allyn. Even if 7/7 happened 3 times a week, every week, it would still be 700+ deaths short of healthcare's headcount by the end of the year. How many weeks would such loss of life be allowed to continue unabated in any other field?

People can only be outraged if they learn the truth first. But when are the really serious discussions ever given meaningful exposure?https://twitter.com/c7rky/status/946867181027037190 …

John Clarke @C7RKYOn the day when Irish declassified documents tell us MI5 tried to arrange assassination of the Irish PM, I can't see a single mention on BBC or Sky News headlines. Jamie & Louise Redknapp's divorce makes Sky's front page though.#IgnorantByDesign https://twitter.com/thehistorian15/status/946700547024855040 …Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

I have seen riots for much less than this. These stats are being hidden to stop outrage. Of the public where made fully aware there would be uproar in society and they know it and that is why they hide them

Spot on. Francis predicted something like a tide of anger from patients if issues went unaddressed, as I recall? That prediction still hangs in the air.

"It was quite clear to me that there was what I described at those seminars as a tsunami of anger heading towards the NHS. The reason was that..there was an absence of thinking on a daily basis about the impact of actions on patients".
