I wouldn't disagree with that. I'm sure there must be good, honest leaders out there. But on current experience, they don't appear to be common. Cover up seems to have been the widespread default option for some time, based upon any serious cases I've encountered.

But being practical, how many cases are there as a percentage of total patient admissions across the country during eg a year? I can’t believe that most clinicians are lying unethical people. I’ve only come across one or two in my whole career and I’ve been around a lot. >>

I’m not of course saying that lying etc is totally unacceptable, it can only ultimately lead to bad outcomes for all parties.

Last point first: I'm not sure you can judge the outcome from lying, in isolation from telling the truth re clinicians. Yes, the outcome from lying may be bad if discovered (unlikely) but the outcome from being caught telling the truth (guaranteed) can be much worse. All relative

On your point about prevalence, I think my description of 'serious' cases matters. It's not about admissions, it's about the response to serious failures, which we obv hope are rare. That's a much smaller number. A high % of which appear to suffer from cover ups. £? Reputation?

Cover ups are always local organisational culture driven as if it were just an individual, other staff would report concerns. If these concerns are ignored by senior staff then this action endorses the practice as acceptable
