@CLeslieMP It shouldn’t be for the surgeons to decide whether to publish. NHS England should challenge their dodgy legal advice.

@JWShield. Indeed need transparency. Should hospitals be responsible for publishing surgeon data instead? -
@CLeslieMP I think so—there’s a clear public interest under FOI. Compare & contrast with this decision on same issue: http://www.itspublicknowledge.info/home/News/20051208.aspx …

@JWShield thanks James. Interestingly, surgeons, pro-transparency, suggested same thing. Removes data issues from individuals concerned.

@CLeslieMP The public’s right to know should trump the surgeons’ right to consent to data sharing. Scotland decided this in 2005.

@CLeslieMP Data needs careful presentation. Look at the recent farce in Leeds!

@CLeslieMP Risk adjustment is an imperfect science, so here comes risk averse surgery - minimal risk=better outcomes.

@alottalottos @CLeslieMP surgeons not doing high risk ops is a downside but benefits likely outweigh this

@CLeslieMP It would be good to try and establish data for all areas of surgery. The more transparency the better!

@CLeslieMP clue: pay Nhs staff good wages. Don't privatise off all services as they'll only find competitiveness by paying peanuts.
